The non-profit foundation Gift of Life is organizing the third annual World Children’s Winners’ Games, a unique athletic event for childhood cancer survivors.

In 2010, the Games took place at the Locomotive Stadium in Moscow. They became an unforgettable event for 200 children from Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Latvia, Poland, Armenia, Hungary and Romania. For additional information, visit our Photocamp page.

In 2011, the Winners’ Games were held on August 4 – 7 at the athletic facilities of Foresta Tropicana Hotel located not far from Moscow. Over 300 children from 9 countries came to the Winners' Games to celebrate their victory over disease.

This year the Games will take place on May, 30th - June 3rd at the sport venues of the Gorky Park - in the very centre of Moscow!

Young athletes – children 7 – 16 years of age – will try themselves at such athletic disciplines as soccer, track, swimming, shooting, table tennis and chess. Athletes will compete in three age groups. Children may participate in these games regardless of their prior athletic training. All events are adapted for children with various physical abilities, including those with limited abilities.

Every participant in these Games will be a winner. Through the long and enduring fight with their illnesses, these children have become incredible young people; they are brave, strong, optimistic and strong-willed. They are true winners!

Having won their main victory over illness these children are ready to compete and win in athletics. Athleticism is a symbol of health and will, and athletic games of this kind are a true celebration of victory.

We are looking forward to see you at the Winners' Games!
