Hugos Stiftelse and Glädjeruset
The Hugos Stiftelse foundation raises money to support associations and organisations that work to ensure an active life and better health for children and young people with disabilities. Among other things, funds are raised via our Glädjeruset races, in which everyone can participate in whatever way their personal circumstances allow.
The year in brief
After two years of virtual races, we were finally able to arrange in-person races again. One in Täby and one in Skellefteå. We also held the virtual race, in which people can compete wherever and whenever they want. This year, over 1,300 competitors walked, rolled or ran in our races.
A lot has happened in 2022. We now offer counselling for families with disabilities, we have welcomed a new project manager to our team, and we have launched a project that takes Glädjeruset to disability-adapted schools, whereby they can partner with us to arrange their own races. Nearly 800 children have participated in Glädjeruset at school. The hope is to continue expanding the number of participants in the school-based race, now dubbed Hugoloppet. Also, we awarded grants to 7H Para Alpine Skiing, Grödinge SK Para Football, and the Bliss cheerleading club.
