Thomas Martin
I am Thomas, passionate runner from Germany. Running is more than sport to me – it's my way of clearing my head, pushing my limits and finding meaning.
In November 2025, at an event of the Toni Kroos Foundation, I met Hamza's family in person. What impressed me wasn't what they go through – it was how they do it: with an energy, a hope and a joy for life that catches you immediately.
That encounter didn't let me go. Hamza needs an operation in Barcelona that his family cannot afford alone. And it became clear to me: just donating isn't enough for me. I want to do something that fits who I am – and that brings as many people as possible along.
So the idea was born: run 567 kilometres across Switzerland. From Geneva to Bregenz. 12 running days + 2 rest days. One clear goal: finance Hamza's operation. And once that's done – it continues. The next cause will show itself quickly.
