WHO AM I?

This September I will start the biggest run of my life. #runacrossUSA.

My name is Tomasz Sobania, and some people call me #PolishForrestGump, because every year I go on a really long tour.

My goal is always to fulfill a sports dream, but also to publicize a charitable collection.

I am pleased to welcome you to the site, from which you will learn a little more about me and the upcoming project.

Now, together with Tomasz Sobania, they are joining forces in America, implementing the “You can do more than you think” social campaign.

They will not only inspire people to take on challenges and realize their dreams. During the run, a collection will be launched to increase accessibility for people with disabilities. The funds raised will be used to purchase a minimum of 30 Accessibility Boxes - a tool to support alternative communication - for medical entities and other units that want to implement accessibility at home.

 

Check out the fundraising and participate in this special event!

We strongly believe that the tandem of Tom and Adrian will redouble their efforts to inspire those who care about activating people with disabilities. It starts with accessibility in its broadest sense. Let's support the fundraising and cheer on every mile of the run!

Do you want to be part of the run across the USA?
NOTHING simpler!
The Run Across the U.S. will not take place if no funds cover its costs. I have been looking for sponsors and saving money for several months, and now you can get involved in my Run by sponsoring a specific mile, a marathon, or even an entire section. You can also make a donation of any amount. All the funds raised will be used to cover the costs of the Run and organize a charity relay.
By donating $50, you will become a sponsor of one mile of the Run. Enter your address and you will receive a certificate for being part of the Run Across the US.
Thank you for your support!
