With great success and heartfelt emotion, the charitable Ultra Run “Every Step Counts” was completed — an initiative by Destination Fitness in collaboration with the Nicholas Zoe Foundation, aiming to support research on childhood cancer.

The seven runners of Destination Fitness covered a distance of 160 kilometers from Paphos to Nicosia, carrying with them a message of strength, hope, and giving. Every step of this journey was dedicated to children battling sarcoma — and to their families, who never stop hoping.

The Nicholas Zoe Foundation, inspired by the memory of Nikola Artemiou, works tirelessly to fund research programs at Boston Children’s Hospital that focus on developing new, less invasive, and more effective treatments.

This initiative by Destination Fitness aligns with the Move More philosophy and the gym’s mission to move people not only physically but also emotionally — to bring them together through actions that make a difference.

At the finish line, a crowd of supporters gathered to welcome the runners, along with Nikola’s mother and President of the Nicholas Zoe Foundation, Mrs. Alexia Potamitou, who stated: “You led your feet today with your soul. You proved that Nikola’s mission — for no other child to suffer as he did — is sacred. You surpassed yourselves and became an inspiration for all of us.”

The public’s response, along with that of gym members and supporters, was deeply moving. The donations collected will significantly contribute to continuing the foundation’s mission, reminding us all that movement can become a source of life.

Nicholas Zoe Foundation thanks everyone who stood by it — runners, citizens, and volunteers — who proved that with unity and faith, Every Step Counts.
