Nova Ukraine x Bay to Breakers - Spring 2026

Some races are not about time — they’re about impact.

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, I’ll be running my 4th Bay to Breakers with the Nova Ukraine team. The course stretches from the Embarcadero along the San Francisco Bay, through nine vibrant neighborhoods, all the way to Ocean Beach, where the breakers meet the shore.

This 12K is not about competition. For me, it’s about raising awareness of the ongoing war in Ukraine and supporting the people whose lives have been deeply affected by it.

For more than four years, Ukrainians have been living through a war that continues to grow more brutal. What began as an invasion has turned into a sustained attack on civilians - on families, children, and the basic systems people depend on to survive.

Nova Ukraine provides critical support on the ground - delivering emergency aid, medical supplies, and humanitarian assistance to those in need.

This year, I’ve set a personal goal of raising $1,200 - $100 for every kilometer I run.

If you’re able, please consider supporting this fundraiser. Every contribution matters. Every step I take on race day will be for those who need it most.

You can also help by sharing this page with your friends and family — awareness is just as important as donations.

Thank you for your support 💙💛
