On March 15, the streets of Medellín became a powerful space of hope and transformation. A group of 30 beneficiaries from United for Colombia, including both children and adults, participated in the Corre por Amor race as part of their integral rehabilitation journey.
All of them share a common reality: they are survivors of landmines. Yet on this day, they were not defined by their past, but by their strength, determination, and ability to move forward.
For many, crossing the finish line was more than completing a race, it was a symbol of healing, independence, and new possibilities.
These events go beyond sport. They bring together beneficiaries and volunteers, creating meaningful connections and strengthening a shared commitment to inclusion. Along the course, our participants inspired fellow runners and helped raise awareness about the realities faced by landmine survivors.
Because of your support, these moments are possible. You are not only helping our beneficiaries walk again, you are helping them move forward with dignity, confidence, and hope.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
