Grupa KRYSTEK TEAM - KORONA GANG #NEVERENDING STORY was formed shortly after Krystian's death on the initiative of his parents, family and friends. Our group was created with the idea of commemorating Krystian, who was not only our friend, but also an exceptional athlete and a man of incredibly positive energy. The aim of the KRYSTEK TEAM group is to motivate people to overcome their barriers and weaknesses on their way to achieve small and big dreams.
In November 2018, our first spontaneous initiative took place: the run ‘I...Taka Tarnów Dyszka’
The event attracted a surprisingly large number of participants, who took part wearing T-shirts with Krystian's image on them. It is safe to say that it was a run in memory of Krystian himself. It was then that we realised that we could not stop, and that it would only be a matter of time and our imagination to scale the group's activities.
This is how the idea of organising a memorial event in memory of Krystian Popiela was born, and later also the creation of the ‘Let's Share a Smile’ Foundation, which bears the name of this wonderful man full of joy.
By organising and participating in various sporting initiatives, we try to keep Krystian's memory alive and infect others with positive energy and a smile. Somewhat against the fashion for spending time in front of electronic screens, we are visible at football tournaments, long-distance running or triathlon competitions. We support each other, motivate each other to overcome our barriers and weaknesses on the way to achieving small and big dreams. Nowadays, so many young people are struggling mentally and emotionally. We try to keep the sporting spirit alive in them and encourage them to be physically active. Sport teaches perseverance, discipline and cooperation. It can help young people build a strong personality and become resilient in the face of adversity. We aim for our activities to be an inspiration to others, to encourage them to take up sporting challenges and achieve their goals.
