For the second consecutive year, Destination Fitness and the Nicholas Zoe Foundation are joining forces for the “Move for Hope” campaign, in honor of Golden September, the month dedicated to raising awareness about childhood cancer.

Throughout September, exercise and physical activity become acts of giving, with the goal of raising public awareness and funds to support groundbreaking research on childhood cancer, which is backed by the Nicholas Zoe Foundation at Boston Children’s Hospital.

“At Destination Fitness, we’re moving toward hope—toward a destination where no child will suffer from cancer,” said Destination Fitness founder Nikos Mavroudis, emphasizing that every step, every kilometer, and every donation can make a difference.

The campaign’s central message is “Strength-to-Strength,” calling on athletes, gym members, businesses, and citizens to turn their personal efforts into meaningful contributions.

10,000 kilometers and 85 kilometers to Mount Olympus

As part of the campaign, Destination Fitness members will attempt to collectively cover 10,000 kilometers on treadmills throughout September, as part of the 10,000 km Treadmill Challenge.

The highlight of the campaign is the Destination Olympus Ultra Run, on September 26 and 27, where eight runners will cover a distance of 85 kilometers, from Destination Fitness in Nicosia to Mount Olympus, with a total elevation gain of 2,160 meters. The athletes will carry the Move More Torch as a symbol of endurance, determination, and hope.

The public and businesses can support the effort by “adopting” one or more kilometers of the route through a symbolic donation.

Additionally, for every new subscription to Destination Fitness during the month of September, €1 will be donated to the Nicholas Zoe Foundation, while the net proceeds from the Golden Smoothie and a portion of the proceeds from the limited-edition “We Move for Hope” training towels will also be donated to the Foundation.

The public can support the campaign by making a donation, sponsoring kilometers, purchasing campaign products, or participating in Destination Fitness events.

Donations can be made via the website www.nicholaszoe.com, with the reference “Destination Fitness.”

We Move for Hope. Join the movement.

Because every effort can bring us closer to a future where no child will suffer from cancer.
