Christos’ personal story teaches optimism, resilience and courage. He calls us to run with our souls, beyond any disease.

“This Sunday, November 12, I will take part, defying my advanced lung cancer, in the Marathon, in the five-kilometer course, for the third consecutive time. I will be joined by cancer patients, relatives, caregivers and many members of FairLife L.C.C. No disease can bring us down if we don’t allow it to. When our legs get tired, we run with our soul!“ Christos Apostolakos

The FairLife L.C.C. marathon team includes patients, caregivers, family members and ambassadors Ioannis Fountoulis, Kiki Tsakaldimi and Zisis Soulios.

Lung cancer is a major race as well. At FairLife L.C.C. we want to change lung cancer perception and send the message: there is no time when it comes to lung cancer! Our assets are exercise, healthy lifestyle, mental health and optimism. Christos Apostolakos is a valuable friend of FairLife and a true fighter. We thank him and wish him every success in his personal race.”
