Athletic Commitment for a Good Cause
Last week, numerous young people from the Jena vocational school swapped the classroom for the running track. A total of 171 students participated in the charity run. They demonstrated extraordinary endurance: together, they completed 1,671 laps, each with a length of 400 meters.
The running effort paid off and culminated in a final donation sum of 1,000 euros. The collected funds have now been officially handed over to the volunteers of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), Kristin Arnold and Carsten Reuter. They accepted the symbolic amount on behalf of the entire Thüringer Wünschewagen team.
Background: The ASB-Wünschewagen and the Stoy-Schule
The „Wünschewagen“ is a purely donation-funded project of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB). The initiative aims to fulfill a special heartfelt wish for terminally ill people in the final phase of their lives. Whether it is a last trip to the sea, attending a concert, returning to one’s place of birth, or participating in a family celebration – specially converted, comfortable patient transport vehicles and medically trained, volunteer helpers make these often arduous journeys possible in the first place. For the passengers concerned and one accompanying person, the transport and the fulfillment of the wish are always completely free of charge.
The Karl-Volkmar-Stoy-Schule, a renowned state vocational school center for business and administration in the center of Jena, regularly engages in social activities such as this charity run. Such projects are intended to strengthen the social awareness, empathy, and cohesion of the trainees.
