EVERY STEP COUNTS - FROM PAPHOS TO NICOSIA FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER - 11 October


 Filenews 9 October 2025 - by Dora Christodoulou


The Nicholas Zoe Foundation and Destination Fitness are joining forces in a unique charity action that combines exercise with hope. Next Saturday, October 11, a team of seven Destination Fitness runners will cover 160 kilometers from Paphos to Nicosia, carrying a message of life: Every Step Counts – Every Step Counts.

The Nicholas Zoe Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the memory of Nikolas Artemiou. The organization is supporting pioneering research into childhood sarcoma by funding programs at Boston Children's Hospital aimed at faster diagnosis and the development of less invasive treatments for children battling the disease.

According to the organizers, the partnership with Destination Fitness was born out of a common philosophy: that movement can inspire, unite, and change lives. The gym harnesses the power of sport to support causes with a meaningful impact on society.

This charity journey, they emphasize, is not just a sporting event. It is a chain of hope, where each step represents an act of giving to children in need of support.

They invite the public to support the effort by making a donation to the official association of the institution: www.nicholaszoefoundation.com/donations

As the organizers clarify, the public cannot participate in the race. However, it can welcome runners to the finishing event, on Saturday, October 11 at 19:30 at the Zoe Diagnostic Center on Dimofontos Street, Nicosia.
