The humanitarian ultra-triathlon initiated by two great athletes, Marko Nikolić and Balša Zajić, about which Serbian Times wrote, and during which they covered 2,450 kilometers by cycling, rowing, and running, has achieved its goal – the Niš Clinical Center will soon receive an apparatus for treating children suffering from cancer!
On this occasion, Marko Nikolić contacted the editorial office of Serbian Times:
“With great pleasure, we want to share wonderful news with you. Thanks to your incredible support and solidarity, the apparatus for treating children with cancer has finally arrived in Niš! This apparatus is the result of our joint action, during which my friend Balša and I covered a total of 2450 kilometers through Serbia and Montenegro, cycling, rowing, and running,” states Nikolić, who is the president of the humanitarian foundation “Zajedno možemo” (Together We Can), and has distinguished himself multiple times with his humanitarian endeavors.
Sports feat to help sick children: Marko Nikolić and Balša Zajić
We remind you that this year Nikolić collected and paid 2 million dinars for the treatment of a boy named Sergej Vavre, a total of over 200,000 euros for the treatment of children and adults in Serbia. He is currently building 5 houses for 5 endangered families, and among other things, he has built wells in Africa and fed over 400 hungry children. He has provided for over 25 families in less than a year, and he is the recipient of several awards, including Hero of the Year and Most Noble Feat of the Year.
He, however, wishes to share the credit for this latest endeavor with others:
“First of all, Balša and I want to express our gratitude to NURDOR and all the good people who, with their contributions, made it possible to collect money for this anesthesia apparatus.”
On Thursday, Marko Nikolić and the president of NURDOR, Jolanda Korora, will present this apparatus to the Niš Clinical Center. Half of the funds were collected by Marko and Balša through their ultra-triathlon, and the other half was provided by NURDOR.
“Thank you for being a part of this wonderful story!” concludes Marko Nikolić.
Until the next action and the next humanitarian deed!
