I will take on the Virtual Everesting Challenge, which means climbing the height of Mt. Everest (8848m) by bike on a single ride on Zwift in order to raise money for little Anastasia Triantafyllaki. I kindly ask of each and everyone of you to support with whichever amount possible! Thank you!

The family of Anastasia informed us publicly a couple of days ago that the amount they were asking for has been gathered for the necessary treatments at this stage. This fundraiser is for good will and an additional help to the family which surely is needed. Since I had told the family I would go ahead and do this challenge for Anastasia I think it is only right if I keep that promise and complete the challenge.

Below you may ready the little angels story...

Little Anastasia, just before her seventh birthday, woke up in a very bad dream. All of a sudden she was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of childhood cancer - also known as DIPG - Diffuse Brainstem Glioma - and a very unfavorable prognosis. She was hospitalized at the Children's Oncology Hospital "Elpida" where after all the necessary examinations she was faced with the harshest reality. The doctors gave Anastasia 6 months to live. Xenia and Elias, as any mother and father would do in their place, looked everywhere for similar cases to that of Anastasia’s and with a glimmer of hope discovered a clinic in Houston, Texas, USA with great specialization in this disease. Conversations with patients who have succeeded give them tremendous courage for the struggle ahead. Anastasia, instead of being in second grade of elementary with her friends and teachers who love her so much, is travelling to Houston as soon as possible. The cost is unbearable, it will reach $1000 but when there is hope and humanity nothing is impossible. So let us all stand by the little fairy, opening her strong wings for the journey to health and help her get out of this bad dream and return to a beautiful life as it deserves to all the children of the world. We are also organizing a meal train for the family in oder to have meals throughout their stay in Houston.
