Charity challenge: Get moving and support a good cause in Czechia

The event runs non-stop from Sept. 14 to 23.
Registrations started in mid-August 2023 on the TERIBEAR website.
To participate, all you need is a smartphone or watch connected to the internet that will track your movements. After registering on the TERIBEAR website, set up a new account with the viRACE app, which synchronizes data with the most common running apps. For every kilometer you walk or run, the partners will donate CZK 20 to a charity of your choice.
The results of each participant will be automatically added to the ranking on the TERIBEAR website.
For those who prefer the social format of the event, the one-day charity event TERIBEAR moves Mladá Boleslav on Sept. 13 at the Štěpánka Park on Mladá Boleslav allows participation as part of a community gathering.
You can contribute even if you’re not the sporty type through the fundraiser For the Friends of TERIBEAR fundraiser, which is available throughout the year.

Pregnant mothers at risk: Support pregnant mothers facing adversity, who, given the chance of early assistance, can become loving and caring mothers, regardless of their past hardships. One of them is Eva, 22, a young expectant mother living in a hostel with her partner, who are both determined to overcome obstacles and provide a better life for their child with the help of the Tereza Maxová Foundation.
Families in need: The funds can go toward preventing families from being driven apart during life crises. One of the people in this position is Margaret, who escaped a relationship marked by domestic and psychological abuse and received support from the Tereza Maxová Foundation to secure housing and protect her son.
Moms in shelters starting over: Help mothers in transitioning to a new life after leaving shelters. One of them is Marta, a mother of three who escaped threats and violence, took part in parenting courses and received support from social workers that offered her a new lease of life.
Return of institutionalized children to their families: Children thrive in a family environment more than in institutions. A case in point is the story of Eliška and Sylva, who were reunited with their formerly imprisoned mother after being in a children's home, thanks to support from social workers and family-focused efforts courtesy of the foundation.
Support for foster care and adoption: Abandoned children can find loving homes alongside people with big hearts eager to offer them a new life. One child in this position is Martina, who was rescued from a life in an orphanage by a foster mother, Kateřina, a decision that had a tremendously positive impact on the lives of both.
Helping abused children: Some children who endure painful experiences can find their way back to a happier childhood with help from psychologists and therapists. Anetka, a victim of abuse that led her to self-harm, is one of the children who found support and healing through therapy at the Children's Crisis Center.
A joyful childhood for institutionalized children: Children placed in the state's care deserve a fulfilling childhood with memorable experiences like stays in leisure camps, and nurturing relationships outside the institution. Teenager Anička said that such experiences helped her meet like-minded people her age and taught her how to be more independent.
Supporting the education of young people from children's homes: The speaker supports disadvantaged young people in pursuing their education and dreams. With the help of the Tereza Maxová Foundation, Adriana, who grew up in an orphanage, went on to receive a Master’s degree in social work.
Healing children's aching souls: Traumatic childhood experiences leave emotional scars that psychotherapy can help heal. This happened in the case of Fanda, who found a safe place to start healing after a difficult childhood through the Let's Leave Childhood to Children program.
Helping young people achieve independence: For young people who have been institutionalized, achieving independence is of utmost importance. A success story is that of Michaela, who is studying Economics and Management at Newton University in Brno and is making the transition to independent living with the foundation’s support.
