Stories of heroes

It so happened that we cannot tell all the stories of our heroes. In some cases it is a matter of privacy, and in others it is a matter of simple ethics. But even this small part impresses and inspires. The impossible became possible – this is undoubtedly a miracle of the professionalism of doctors, the indomitable perseverance of soldiers and the carelessness of benefactors – all those who support the project «Let’s raise the heaviest together». Without the philanthropic partners attracted by the «Kran» foundation, there will be no doctors a chance to help the heroes.
