The Great Little Fiat Expedition involves not only motorsport legends like Longin Bielak, Sobiesław Zasada, Maciej Wisławski, Kajetan Kajetanowicz, and Bartosz Ostałowski but also everyone who cares about improving road safety for children and youth.
Statistics from the Great Little Fiat Expedition’s official website indicate that last year there were 1,778 road accidents involving children in Poland, resulting in 48 fatalities and 1,832 injuries. Such accidents occur almost daily, exemplified by a tragic incident in Borzęcin Duży, Mazovia, on July 5th, the expedition’s start date, where two boys were hit by a drunk driver, resulting in one fatality.
Funds raised will not only cover children’s medical treatment but also support various educational programs to improve road safety for children and youth, promoting proper road behavior and creating safe infrastructure.
