Dresdener aims to jog 100 kilometers in aid of kids

In an inspiring display of community spirit and personal dedication, Matthias Breitkopf, a hobby athlete, is organizing a charity run named "From Zero to Hundred for Children's Aid". The event aims to raise funds for a much-needed retreat space in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of the University Hospital in Dresden.

The new waiting area, located above the emergency department in House 21, will provide a sanctuary for parents whose child is being treated in the PICU. Currently, the corridor of the PICU serves as a makeshift waiting area, which is far from ideal.

Matthias Breitkopf has personally experienced the PICU, and he recognizes the need for a more comfortable and private space for families during such challenging times. The new waiting area will cost 180,000 euros and is expected to significantly improve the experience for families in the PICU.

The funds raised from the charity run will be used exclusively for this purpose. The specific details of the event can be found on the Dresden Children's Aid website at [www.radler-helfen.de/kinderhilfe].

Matthias Breitkopf has set an ambitious goal: to run a 100 km ultramarathon on September 15th to gather donations for the PICU. His efforts are part of a larger collaboration between the Dresden Children's Aid and the University Hospital.

While specific details about the "From Zero to Hundred for Children's Aid" charity run are not yet widely available, it is clear that Matthias Breitkopf is determined to make a difference. His commitment to improving the PICU experience for families is commendable, and his unique fundraising event is sure to capture the hearts of the community.
