This will again be the idea of my charity run in 2016. Besides the adventure "running (or at least keep moving) for 24 hours", the very first aspect is the aid and support for those people who have not been favoured in their life. Therefore, I need your (financial) help.

Since 2010, once a year, donators convert the kilometers/miles achieved by myself during a 24h-run into money for the good cause.

Many thanks to all of my loyal sponsors who have donated EUR 19,657.73 since 2010! 2015 was the most successful year yet with donations of EUR 4,427.62 doubled by the Macquarie Group Foundation. In addition, also my direct employer Macquarie Austria added EUR 2,500 inspired by "Martin runs for 24 hours". So more than EUR 11,300 were collected in favour of Stiftung Kindertraum!

I hope, 2016 will be as successful as 2015!

So in 2016, donations are based on the kilometers achieved during the 24-hour-run in Sárvár (Hungary), which will take place April 23/24, 2016.

Charity in favour of Stiftung Kindertraum
Running for 24 hours has a lot in common with movement and mobility and from my perspective, Regarding the charity you donate for, in 2016 I will again try to achieve as many kilometers/miles as possible in favour of Stiftung Kindertraum. Its mission is to fulfil the wishes of handicapped and seriously ill children in Austria to improve their as well as their families' living quality in a sustainable manner. In addition to information publicly available in the internet and the 'Austrian donation certificate', also the personal contact (e.g. with the manager of Stiftung Kindertraum Gabriela Gebhart) convinces me constantly of the work and quality of Stiftung Kindertraum.

Running for 24 hours has a lot in common with movement and mobility and from my perspective, self-reliance, independence and self-controlled mobility are prerequisites to achieve happiness in life and being self-confident. Therefore, I together with all of you would like to support a child's wish that is sustainably supporting these aspects. As the budget for the wish cannot yet be determined as it depends on your donations and my achieved distance, the project cannot yet be defined. But some examples of already fulfilled wishes in this sense have been: several therapies like animal assisted pedagogy or therapy equipment like specially designed bicycles.

In 2015, diabetic warning dog Dumbledore for the 12-year old Raphael was partly financed by your donations (picture on the right).

Doubling of donations: my employer Macquarie has established the Macquarie Group Foundation which - besides of other activities - supports fundraising activities of its employees. This means, each Euro you donate because of me running 24 hours for charity, Macquarie Group Foundation will also pay one additional Euro to Stiftung Kindertraum. So, for your and my motiviation: each kilometer I achieve counts twice this year!

I hope, you are excited about this charity in favour of Stiftung Kindertraum and give me a lot of support. If this is not the case and you prefer to donate for another charity organisation of your choice, I will be of course pleased if you do so. But these donations are then not eligible for the doubling by support of the Macquarie Group Foundation!

Twinky (who you can see pictured in the upper right of the page) is the mascot of Stiftung Kindertraum and is accompanying my training on the road to Sárvár and making sure my motivation remains high!

I publish regular news about my training and preparation here: http://martin24h.blogspot.com/ (unfortunately due to work load only in German, but either Google Translate helps you out or is there someone who likes to translate it?)

But now "let's talk business":

So how does it work?
Of course, I have to do something in return to your donation. In case of a charity RUN, it seems logical that this is my running performance. Hence, I ask you to support each kilometer I will run with a small amount of money. But to get me really motivated to keep on crawling, I think, another additional small amount for each kilometer I ran above 100 kilometers will help me a lot!

So below you can choose the base amount for each kilometer as well as the motivation amount for each kilometer above 100k. After your input, you will see an overview what your total amount of support will be depending on the total kilometers I achieve.

What is the field email as well as alias for?
If you state your email address, I will inform you after the run what is your exact donation depending on my achieved kilometers. If you do not like to state your email address (although I assure you to only use it for communication in regards with this charity event), you can fill in an alias and I will post the final amount together with your alias on this web-site after the run. Either way (email or alias) I will calculate the amounts for you, so you don't have to bother with all that complicated maths ;-)

How to donate (technical details)?
Bank account details in favour of Stiftung Kindertraum and doubling by Macquarie Group Foundation are still to follow.

I will regularly publish the current status of donations that all of you promised me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your support and I hope to collect as many donations as possible! Yours, Martin
