Be a Hero and Win a Painting! May 30, 2018
win this painting in support of Brasov heroes
Competition to win this painting if you donate to Brasov Heroes!
I’ve decided to play my part in creating positive change by running 8km on the 10th June for Brasov Heroes! So i’m holding an exciting competition.
Are you looking for ways to give back and make a large difference in the lives of young, vulnerable people?
If contribution is a big part of your life, I’m with you on that. Giving back to society is an enormously important part of my life.
Over the past 8 years I’ve been volunteering and supporting SCUT, an NGO in my home town of Brasov. SCUT supports young teenagers to integrate into society when they that leave orphanages.
Teenage years are difficult for most, but for kids who suffer from abandonment issues, low self esteem, depression and who have not been prepared for life outside of an institution it is especially terrifying.
Mental health is an issue affecting people of all ages. More young people are suffering from depression than ever before with teen suicide reaching record levels.
Reading these troubling statistics I can’t sit back and not contribute.
Yes, I’m going to be a Heroine! The best part? YOU can be a Hero too!
Although you don’t have to run 8 km, you don’t have to come to Brasov (even though you should, it’s a beautiful town), you don’t even have to get off your sofa but you can also be a Brasov Hero or a Heroine! And in doing so you will also have the chance to win one of my original oil paintings!!
I have chosen a beautiful landscape to give away as a prize for supporting my run and our cause.
This is an original oil painting, 50/70cm, which I painted on a lovely sunny Sunday in Snagov last year in preparation for the Landscape Artist of the Year competition in the UK.
It isn’t on my website or anywhere else at the time of writing this. Partially because I don’t often paint landscapes and when I do they are often for myself or my family. So what do you say? Fancy winning this rare piece of artwork from my collection? It comes signed and dated with a certificate of authenticity.
If you would like to own this painting while supporting a life changing cause, here are the steps to become one of the Brasov heroes:

The minimum donation to enter the competition draw is 100 RON. Every 100 RON represents a token with your name on it. If you donate 500RON, you will have your name in the hat 5 times and have many more chances to win.
