I will be joined by cancer patients, relatives, caregivers and many members of FairLife L.C.C. No disease can bring us down if we don’t allow it to. When our legs get tired, we run with our soul!“ Christos Apostolakos

Lung cancer is a major race as well. At FairLife L.C.C. we want to change lung cancer perception and send the message: there is no time when it comes to lung cancer! Our assets are exercise, healthy lifestyle, mental health and optimism. Christos Apostolakos is a valuable friend of FairLife and a true fighter. We thank him and wish him every success in his personal race.”
