Why we run
Most playgrounds have a step, a gate, or sand at the entrance. That is enough to keep a child in a wheelchair on the outside, watching.
We are raising money for a sports playground in Limassol built so that nobody is left on the outside. The organisation that will receive the money is being confirmed now.
Every euro raised will be published here, with the name of the organisation that receives it.
