Melco Cyprus launches anti-Leukemia fitness drive

Melco Cyprus, operator of Cyprus Casinos (“C2”) and the upcoming integrated resort (IR), City of Dreams Mediterranean, is launching the philanthropic “Commit To Fitness: The Step Challenge” campaign. The fitness drive is in support of the Karaiskakio Foundation, which promotes bone marrow donation in the fight against leukemia and other blood diseases.

In launching the challenge, Melco Cyprus aims to inspire everyone to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle by incorporating walking into daily life. The campaign goal is to have 1,000 active participants record 50 million steps in total, over November 22-28. For every active participant, Melco Cyprus will make a financial contribution to the Karaiskakio Foundation.
