the need to support athletes with disabilities.
The police invite the public to the provinces of each province to support the torchbearers with their
presence.
The Police Police Torch Run was founded in November 1997 and has essentially marked the
beginning of a humanitarian and social contribution of Police members to athletes with disabilities.
The goals and goals of the Association are to promote, develop and support the goals of
Special Olympics Cyprus, to raise money to support athletes with disabilities and to organize
candle-raising events to raise money for this purpose.
