– In 2015 I had a serious accident on a motorcycle and damaged my spine, I lay almost three months, regenerated, the more I am close to this run – Polish rally driver Jakub Przygoński said on TVN24. In a week, Wings for Life is starting. This year, the money will be transferred to find an effective method of treating the interrupted spinal cord.
On May 4, 2025, the Wings for Life World Run will take place for the 12th time. This time, starting with the application in the Polish language version will hear two known voices: Adam Małysz, who will once again play the role of a pursuit car driver, as well as the debut as the motivator of the actor Bartłomiej Topa. Only participants of the run with the application on the day of the event will hear a unique audio setting.
Once again, the event will be attended by a Polish rally driver Jakub Przygoński. This time, however, he will not run in a group in Poznań, but will start in France.
– Running a pleasure for me, it is also a complement to training, and starting in the competition, where a lot of people run, it is fun. I am not a professional runner, I do not do it for the result, it is pure pleasure for me – he said on TVN24.

Jakub Przygoński added that he personally knows Adam Małysz, who will play the role of a driver.
“This is always a funny situation,” he said. – There is this group run, after 30 minutes the finish starts, which chases us. The trick is not to get caught by this finish. Adam Małysz goes in Poland in this car. You run, run, run, this car slowly accelerates, you have no chance to escape, but around those 12, 15, 30 kilometers this meta catch up with you. In previous editions, when Adam passed me, I didn't have the strength to wave too much, I was tired, but Adam always trumpeted, waved through the window, he said, “and I have you” – said Przygoński.
“Over 200,000 people run in the world at one time”
The driver also admitted that this year the race is particularly important to him. In 2015, when he raced on a motorcycle, he had a serious accident.
– I damaged my spine, I lay almost three months, regenerated, the more I am close to this run – he said.
He also encouraged everyone to participate in Wings for Life. He mentioned how last year he came across a group of people in wheelchairs. – I grabbed one boy by the pram and we still ran 10 km. I devoted my individual result, but we ran together and it was also a nice adventure – he said.
Jakub Przygoński admitted that the attractiveness of the run is large and packages for the group run, which is in Poznań, sell “in a moment”.
– Those who run in this main race in Poznań are the great lucky ones, but there is certainly a nice solution for it, because you can run with the application – he encouraged. – At 13 you can start running on the beach and in the mountains. In the application we hear Adam (Małysz-Red.), Who chases us. Over 200,000 people run in the world at one time – he added.
