This campaign is titled “Thousand Miles” (Greece 1000 Miles).

Aggelos Christoforidis and Costas Manatakis, rowers of South Evian Gulf Team, began on 5th of May, a 1000 nautical miles journey of humanity, love and awareness, dedicated to the association of parents of children, that suffer from cancer and children themselves. The journey started with kayak from the westernmost part of Greece Othonous in Corfus until the easternmost, Kastelorizo. The rowers had planned that this will complete in 55 days during the months of May - June.
On Tuesday 3rd June, Costas Manatakis forced to abandon his attempt due to health problems. On the other hand Aggelos Christoforidis continues rowing for 38 days.  In the video you can hear him talk about the difficulties he passed through his journey because of the bad weather conditions and he expects to reach his destination In the next 10 days.

With all our best wishes for good luck for such an important cause!
