WALK FOR LIFE 2023
In a remarkable display of solidarity, the annual ‘Walk of Life’ was successfully hosted in Kos on 24 September. The event, organised by the Kos-based association “Goodbye to Cancer”, aims to raise funds for local patients as well as awareness around the illness. Much like the previous years, the “Walk of Life” was warmly received by Mitsis Hotels guests and staff, who eagerly signed up and marched for five kilometers across the Kos scenic coastline, alongside island residents, local sports teams, and visitors from around the world.
Once at the finish line, participants enjoyed some well-deserved refreshments, provided by Mitsis Hotels, a lively raffle and live music. Funds raised from the event will be donated to “Goodbye to Cancer”, who supports members of the local community affected by the illness. Part of the same funds will be used to also purchase specialized medical equipment for the local hospital.
The “Walk of Life” exemplified, once again, the power of a community coming together for a common purpose, serving not only as an opportunity for raising some much-needed funds but also as a symbol of collective action. We are honored to have contributed to the event’s success, a symbolic demonstration of our ever-present commitment to supporting local initiatives as part of our CSR programme “A Story of Change’.
Each September, we are equally inspired by the people of Kos as they march towards life, one step at a time.
