Our stories with the association
In 2023 I found out about CSG06. Their cause spoke to me. I volunteered to run for a marathon relay, the biggest fundraising event they have during the year. In 2024 I joined as an official member and I supported their project through Helping Hands.
I think their mission is one of high importance, that makes such a difference in the lives of the people they support, so I will continue supporting them as much as my time allows.
