Mayor Vadym Boichenko has met with 16-year-old participant of the round-the-world motor rally Andriy Zakutny. The guy has been sick with hemophilia since childhood and initiated a program to attract the world's attention to this disease. In June, the participants of the rally started from Mukachevo, they plan to cross five continents and go around more than sixty countries of the world.

‘I support this initiative, you are a great fellow, that you are talking about this today. The world should know that there is such a problem. The voice of Mariupol is with you,’
Vadym Boichenko stressed.

Andriy Zakutny appreciated the Mayor for his support and said that the implementation of the plan would speed up the opening of a rehabilitation center in Ukraine.

‘I want a modern rehabilitation center to be built in Ukraine. So that children with hemophilia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism can undergo rehabilitation. Drawing attention to this problem will help to resolve this issue,’ Andriy Zakutny said.

The rally will last for about two years. During it, meetings are planned with representatives of organizations dealing with the problems of hemostasis disorders, Ukrainian diasporas, philanthropists, teachers, politicians, stars of sports, cinema and show business.
