Boy Šimun Petar crossed the finish line of the jubilee tenth edition of the Mostar Run half marathon and became the first boy on the autism spectrum to complete a 21-kilometer half marathon.
The entire project was organized by the Zvončica Association with friends, and alongside Šimun Petar ran Darko Rogina and Marko Cindrić, who pushed a girl, Džejla, in a wheelchair!
As they passed through the finish line, the gathered crowd enthusiastically greeted Šimun Petar and the team, showing how unity and support can change things! They wore T-shirts with the markings of “Mosa Bavlju,” a humanitarian campaign aimed at helping children who are vitally endangered and who have survived malignant diseases.
The humanitarian campaign “Mosa Bavlju” brings together individuals and the community around one fundamental idea—that unconditional love is the strongest force in the universe and that no one should go through the hardest life battles alone.
A true ambassador of this campaign is the boy Šimun Petar, who through his example shows that a diagnosis does not have to be a limit to one’s abilities. Through daily effort, persistence, and creativity, he sends a powerful message—that every child deserves a chance to be accepted and seen.
After the race, he said with a smile that it was “great,” while his coach stated that they ran 15 minutes faster than planned.
Everything was also recorded by Nela Bunčić, a marketing expert and influencer who has run numerous marathons and races and has been promoting running for years.
