Update

350 kilometers behind them!

Staszek and Marcin have already been on the road for many days and have more than 350 kilometers of walking across Poland. They still have more than 600 kilometers of mountain and forest trails ahead of them, leading from Rys all the way to the Hel Peninsula itself. Each day is a new challenge, but also another step towards their goal - to support 14-year-old Kamil, who lost his leg as a result of cancer and needs a prosthesis to regain his independence.

Meet challenge

Two friends, one mission

Staszek Topolski and Marcin Duda are colleagues whose friendship dates back to school playgrounds. Today in their professional lives they are an analyst and a doctor, respectively, but their shared passion for hiking began much earlier. While they were still in elementary school, they walked the route from Kudowa-Zdrój to Karpacz on their own. Since then they have conquered more kilometers and peaks, and now they are taking on the biggest challenge of their lives.

Way across Poland for Kamil

For 14-year-old Kamil, who lost his leg as a result of an illness, Staszek and Marcin will cross all of Poland on foot. They will set off from Rys to reach as far as the Hel Peninsula, hiking mountain and forest trails, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Before them hundreds of kilometers with backpacks full of necessary equipment and hearts full of determination.

Why this journey is so important

Kamil is struggling with malignant bone cancer. He needs a prosthesis that will allow him to move independently, return to school and enjoy everyday life again. The cost of the prosthesis is 70 thousand zlotys. The fundraising goal is the missing 60 thousand, which will open the door to a new stage of his life.

Aid that changes everything

This is not just a matter of medicine or equipment. It's a chance to restore hope and strength to continue the fight. Every step Staszek and Marcin take will be a symbolic step towards Kamil's independence. Let's help together so he can get back on his own two feet.
