Pasykaf – Larnaca Marathon

Between friends, co-workers and myself we aim to raise money for a local charity in Cyprus to help with cancer care and wellbeing.

Our aim is to help them with their goal and raise funds to support those that require it.

To achive this, we will be taking part in the Larnaca Marathon and Half-Marathon which will take place in November.
