Roman Odoszewski completed his charity cycling journey from Gliwice to Hel – 666 kilometres for Julka

It was an extraordinary test of endurance, determination and solidarity. Roman Odoszewski, Warranty and Service Engineer at SEEN Technologie, together with a group of cycling enthusiasts from the "Rowerowe Gliwice" Cycling Association, successfully completed a charity ride from Gliwice to Hel, covering 666 kilometres in support of 16-year-old Julia Natkaniec-Majchrzak.

The cyclists set off from the Market Square in Gliwice on Friday, 10 July, at 12:00 p.m., reaching Hel on Sunday at 1:15 a.m. Their total riding time, excluding breaks, was 25 hours and 24 minutes, resulting in an average speed of nearly 26 km/h. Eight cyclists completed the entire route.

The journey concluded with a deeply symbolic moment as the team reached the Baltic Sea carrying Julia's beloved pink teddy bunny. Because Julia is currently undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, she is unable to make such a trip herself. Her cherished plush companion was therefore able to "see" the sea on her behalf.

– It was more than twenty-five hours of demanding riding, but knowing that every kilometre helped raise awareness of Julia's story kept us going. During the journey, we managed to raise around PLN 9,000, but much more is still needed. That is why I encourage everyone who would like to help to support the fundraising campaign – every donation truly makes a difference – said Roman Odoszewski, Warranty and Service Engineer at SEEN Technologie.
