Ms. Jadwiga emphasizes that despite the disease that accompanies her from the age of 17, it is not worth giving up but fighting to the end, setting goals, overcoming weaknesses and making your dreams come true.
Of course, nothing happens without the support and understanding of third parties, without whom it would be much harder. As Ms Jadwiga herself adds, “It’s nice that there are still so many people filled with empathy who are not indifferent to the fate of others, which was perfectly felt during the 16 stages of the marked route 4 of the action finale. – Every day I was positively surprised by the cordiality of people who supported and participated in this very important event!
