Charity Run for a Seriously Ill Classmate
July 6, 2026,

Students at Carolus-Magnus-Gymnasium in Marsberg are voluntarily running laps around the school's sports field. Through this fundraising event, they hope to help their seriously ill classmate, Lenja.

Lenja and her family now have renewed hope: a specialized treatment could help ease her symptoms, and there is even a possibility of a full recovery.

A physician at Charité in Berlin, who specializes in her condition, has recommended a therapeutic blood filtration procedure (often referred to as blood washing). However, Lenja's health insurance provider has refused to cover the cost. To support the 15-year-old, her classmates have laced up their running shoes and are taking part in a charity run to raise money for her treatment.

It started as an aww-story and ended as what appears to be a misinformation nightmare.
