Hugos stiftelse
& Glädjeruset
The Hugos Stiftelse foundation raises money to
support associations and organisations that work to
ensure an active life and better health for children
and young people with disabilities. Among other
things, funds are raised by organising the Glädjeruset
race, in which everyone is welcome to participate in
whatever way their personal circumstances allow.
Just like last year, the pandemic stopped us from
arranging the race live and in-person, so in 2021
the race was again held virtually. Participants could
join the race wherever and whenever they wanted,
from 22 August-22 September. Over 1,600 people
walked, rolled or ran the race, helping to raise
money for the foundation!
This year’s recipients of scholarships from
Hugos Stiftelse include the Lunk i kring riding club,
Handboll för alla [Handball for Everyone] in Alingsås,
and Kiruna Handikappidrottsförening, a sports
association for persons with disabilities.
