Give Prostheses to 35 Maimed Colombian War Victims

On July 27, 2025, the streets of Bogotá were filled with determination, unity, and hope as United for Colombia proudly participated in the Bogotá Half Marathon (MMB). Our team of 40 inspiring athletes, including visually impaired runners, handcyclists, wheelchair users, and participants running with crutches proved that no challenge is too great when faced together.

This year’s event was especially meaningful because the children and family members of our beneficiaries ran alongside them. It was not just a race, it was a shared journey of resilience.Together, they transformed the marathon into a celebration of life, perseverance, and love.

Every step carried powerful stories. Many of our participants have endured life-changing injuries, including those caused by landmines and armed conflict. Yet, on this day, they were not defined by their injuries, they were defined by their strength. Families stood proudly beside them, matching their pace, offering encouragement, and crossing the finish line together as one.

The energy of the crowd, the smiles, and the emotional embraces at the end made it clear: this was more than a sporting event. It was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do at United for Colombia: to restore dignity, rebuild dreams, and strengthen the bonds between our beneficiaries and their loved ones.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, this unforgettable day showcased that inclusion and perseverance can transform lives.Together, we crossed the finish line. Together, we move forward.
