Feat at 200 kilometers length-Kyrgyzstan
On August, 18 from Balykchy city has started an unusual (pedestrian) marathon called "For equal opportunities": Rinat Janaliev, vice-president of Issykkul Union of people with disabilities and four volunteers who are Occupational Therapists from Japan accompanying him should overcome (216)
two hundred and sixteen kilometers for two weeks. This marathon is organized in support of the rights of disabled people. Besides we can call on people with disabilities once again to make them to believe in themselves.
Most part of the way is already behind. He had to replace even tyres on the wheel-chair as they were rubbed out. At the end of the route the group is planning to take part in the celebration of Independence Day in Karakol, the capital of Issykkul oblast. But for Rinat and people accompanying him this day will be the day of small but memorable victory.
