Story

Νενικήκαμεν : we did it! Thank you all sponsors. The page will still be active for a few weeks, in case new donors want to join the cause.

I'll come back shortly to describe the magical Greek week-end.

We're planning to run a Marathon on 08/11 in Athens (the original Marathon race).

On that occasion we'd like to raise some money for a charity. We've chosen Action against hunger (Action contre la faim - Accion contra el hambre), which is a well known international humanitarian organisation committed to saving the lives of malnourished children and their families in over 40 countries worldwide.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
