Because their energy infected me.
I met Hamza's family in person at a Toni Kroos Foundation event. What struck me: despite everything they go through every single day, they radiate an energy that instantly catches you – full of hope, love, joy of life. That energy stayed with me. And I knew: I want to help.
I'm not a fast runner. I'm no pro. But I can keep going for 15 days straight, I can cover 560 km through the Swiss mountains, and I can give every single kilometre a meaning.
From 5 to 19 July 2026, I'm running from Geneva to Bregenz – across the country, over every pass, through every valley. My friend Sebastian, a Michelin-starred chef and ten-year companion, comes along in the camper and makes sure there's a warm meal at every stage end.
„When I arrive at the final stage and know: this child can now be operated on – those will have been the most important 560 km of my life.“
