Athletes from all of the TRU WolfPack teams joined Muzyka on her run to raise money and awareness of the conflict in Ukraine.

“My inside Ana is just screaming like crazy right now — like, what happened?!”

Just before 2:30 pm, Muzyka was joined by her teammates, friends, and WolfPack athletics staff for the final lap.

For her, watching the war unfold from half a world away has been difficult. After her run, Ana says she feels like she’s doing her part.

“I don’t feel useless anymore,” she says. “It was hard for me to do this run — to organize everything while doing school and doing practices. But then, when you think back – people are dying. If this is the sacrifice they have to make, I’ll do [the run] next week. I’ll do the same thing if it will help my country and my people.”

Ana’s Run for Ukraine has raised over $5,000 so far. It’s also united these athletes for the cause, and brought some peace to Vova and Anastasiia during a difficult time.
