The Peristerona community organises a charity running event on May 2 to pay tribute to the memory of its beloved member, the late Constantinos Hadjimichael. In his honour, his family and wider community present the 2nd Constantineios Love Run, a day of celebration, wellness, music and food, raising funds for the Day Care Centre for Adults with Disabilities of the Morphou District Communities.

“Constantinos was a young man who deeply cared about the common good and was always at the forefront of volunteer and charitable initiatives,” say organisers. “Through this event, we honour his memory and continue his legacy of giving, while at the same time promoting a culture of sports, solidarity and community spirit among the residents of our village and the surrounding areas.”

Three races are planned: a 10km running race, a 5km running or walking route and a 1km children’s race. All will set off and finish from the village square, in front of the five-domed church of Saints Barnabas and Hilarion.

Following the races, a small community celebration will take place with music and food, reflecting the warm hospitality of the volunteers of Peristerona. The net proceeds raised will be donated to the Day Care Centre based in Peristerona which provides care, education and daily activities for adults with disabilities in the wider Morphou region.
