On Sunday, September 27, Lugano’s lakefront was filled with energy, smiles, and solidarity during Run4Charity, the charity event included in the StraLugano 2026 program.
More than 800 people registered to run or walk the 3 km course during the afternoon activity. Individuals dedicate their participation to their organization of choice within the event’s Charity Program.
As one of the registered charities, SwissABILITY extends our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated on our behalf by wearing our T-shirt, walking alongside us, and choosing to support our work.
Each one helped make this day special, but also helped raise awareness of the right to mobility and inclusion for people with disabilities.
Run4Charity was created specifically to combine sports and charity, allowing participants to donate their registration fee to one of the organizations in the StraLugano Charity Program.
The funds raised will directly support our projects on the ground in Africa, where we work to ensure access to prosthetics, orthopedic services, mobility aids, and rehabilitation programs for people who would otherwise not have access to this essential care.
Every step taken on Sunday carried a meaning far beyond the three-kilometer route: it became a tangible act of solidarity, helping to create new opportunities for independence, inclusion, and dignity for many people living with disabilities.
To all of you who ran, walked, cheered, or chose to support us: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Together, let’s continue to build a world where mobility is a right accessible to everyone. 💙
