This event, organised by Monika Kiriejevaitė, was a true test of endurance and spirit, celebrating Lithuania's 107 years of independence. The hike wasn't just about physical endurance; it had a noble cause. The participants aimed to raise funds for the Bucha Forest Classroom in Ukraine.
Thanks to the generosity of 57 individuals and two companies, ISKU and Hostinger, the hikers raised a total of €4,793. These funds will be used to furnish a classroom, providing a unique learning environment for the children in Bucha Forest.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this cause. Your contributions are making a real difference. The event received extensive coverage from LRT on national TV and radio, highlighting the community's spirit and dedication.
The Hike for Freedom is an annual event that brings together passionate individuals to celebrate Lithuanian independence through a challenging and meaningful activity. Each year, participants take on a significant hiking challenge, symbolizing the resilience and determination of the Lithuanian people. The event also aims to support various charitable causes, making a positive impact both locally and internationally.
