Nicolas' story

“Crossing the finish line at the Panathenaic Stadium was an incredible moment.
"As a Greek Cypriot, running the historic Athens Marathon allows me to connect with my heritage while combining my passion for running."
So many thanks and best of luck once again to Nicolas Michaelides, IT finance analyst for our charity partner apetito.
He ran the original Athens Marathon in 2024 and is doing it once again next month. Every penny Nicolas raises is being match-funded by apetito, doubling the impact of his achievement.
