Charity initiative “Movement for movement”

5 June 2024

In a festive run on June 5 – the World Running Day – the Rimi Riga Marathon charity campaign “Movement for movement” was launched together with children with mobility impairments at the scenic AB dam. The campaign aims to call for donations for children with mobility impairments from June 5 to July 31. You can donate on the website of the Children’s Hospital Foundation and in donation boxes in Rimi stores. All donated funds will be directed to the co-financing of orthoses and orthopaedic shoes, as well as to the provision of other needs of children with mobility impairments. The campaign is created in cooperation with Rimi, the Children’s Hospital Foundation and Latvian Television.

The organizers of the Rimi Riga Marathon have been faithful to their goal – to move Latvia – from the first day of the marathon, since 2019 have been inviting all runners to support and donate to the initiative “Movement for movement” to help children who are denied the joy of movement. Since the start of the charity initiative, runners have donated tens of thousands to the Children’s Hospital Foundation every year.

You can donate in the following ways:

  • In your registration profile, when registering for any Rimi Riga Marathon distance
  • At Rimi in-store donation boxes (or with your “Mans Rimi” savings – log in to your Rimi account and select the percentage of your savings you want to donate at the end of the month);
  • On the Children’s Hospital Foundation’s website;
