Charity Run – we run together in aid of the Hakuna Matata Foundation

By Ophtec

At Ophtec we have known Dr. Christof Knebel for several years. Together with his wife Ute Simon, he is the founder of the Hakuna Matata Foundation. This foundation helps children and young people in Kenya with eye operations and other aids for better vision. Take a look at Hakuna Matata Foundation website.

We will run a distance of approximately 5km. Participants are asked to donate a sum of money to the Hakuna Matata Foundation. Of course, you can also donate without taking part in the run. There are no fees. Your donation will 100% go to the Hakuna Matata Foundation.

Where can I donate?
There are multiple ways to donate via the Hakuna Matata website. Or alternatively you can also donate via ullsdelmon.org.

Are there winners and losers?
No, we run for the fun of the sport and for the benefit of the Hakuna Matata Foundation. It's not a race and the winners are the children in Kenya, anyone can take part!

How long is the run?
The run will be approximately be 5km long.

When is the next run?
The next run will take place in Barcelona before the start of the ESCRS. Click to find all the details.


We hope to see you at the next run!
