SOTIRA: In the footsteps of the late Christodoula the 47th March of Christodoula

The message "In the fight against cancer" was the biggest show of support for cancer patients and their families.

The Christodoulas march was organized in all the cities of the island by the Cyprus Cancer Association, for the 47th year.

The focus is on the procession to free Famagusta that took place in the footsteps of Christodoula, starting from the City Hall of Deryneia and ending at the renovated monument in Sotira, where her statue was created by the sculptor Filippos Giapanis.

The Bank of Cyprus has been a loyal ally of the Cyprus Cancer Association for 24 years.

Next to the fighters of life are for another year, state and citizens. Representatives of the state, political and ecclesiastical leadership gathered in each province to express their support for the anti-cancer association, which has been offering free services for more than 50 years.

In the footsteps of the cancer patient Christodoula the course in the province of Famagusta.

Christodoula koutsa - koutsa walked uprooted in the black summer of '74, from Agios Memnonas alone and arrived at the Sotira camp.

With only a suitcase in hand and few clothes.

Proud, with a physique that did not betray the physical pain nor the uprooting.

So is her statue, at the monument where the Christodoulas March ended this year.

Christodoula as a proud fighter for life and her bust is a reminder of who the real fighters of life are.
