Symphony Solutions launches Distance for a Difference 4.0 — a global charity campaign turning kilometers into care for 104 children in L'viv, Ukraine.
AMSTERDAM, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Symphony Solutions today announced the launch of Distance for a Difference 4.0 (DFD 4.0), a 10-day global charity campaign running May 1–10, 2026. Open for the first time to companies, organisations, and communities worldwide, the initiative challenges participants to run, walk, cycle, hike, or swim — logging every kilometer on Strava, in support of 104 children receiving medical care at the Children's Mobile Hospice in Lviv, Ukraine. The campaign is delivered in partnership with the Angel on a Shoulder Foundation, a long-standing charitable partner of Symphony Solutions.
Symphony Solutions commits €10,000, half of the total €20,000 goal (1,000,000 UAH). The remaining €10,000 will be raised together with our global community. Funds will go directly toward essential hygiene and daily care supplies, critical breathing and life-support equipment, and vital support for families navigating their most difficult moments.
Over three editions, the Distance for a Difference community has turned movement into measurable impact:
DFD 1.0 — 1,452 km covered, €7,500 raised for Kherson City Hospital during the Russian occupation.
DFD 2.0 — 276 participants, 8,823 km covered, €7,000 raised for the Children's Mobile Hospice in Lviv.
DFD 3.0 — €10,000 raised, funding critical medical equipment delivered directly to children in need.
DFD has united 746+ participants across 26 countries, covered 24,472 km collectively, and raised €24,500 for three charitable causes.
The initiative was born from a simple belief: movement can be more than personal achievement. Three years ago, Valentyna Synenka, Ironman World Championship 4x Finisher and Board Member at Symphony Solutions, asked a powerful question:
What if her passion for sport could change a child's life? Distance for a Difference was the answer.
"I've always believed that when people move together, they're capable of anything. Four editions in, I know it to be true. Every kilometer we cover together means a child gets care."
