What made this moment unforgettable wasn’t just the heat or the steam—it was the strength of those young girls. Many had fathers and brothers fighting on the front lines, yet inside that sauna, they showed what true courage looks like.

After watching a spirited volleyball tournament, I joined a group of young athletes in a sauna generously donated by the Therme Group.

Recently, in Staryi Sambir, Ukraine, I experienced a sweat that will stay with me forever. On behalf of Sauna Aid, we had just delivered a wood-fired sauna to a youth sports center.
