A heartfelt thank you

Hi everyone,

I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to all my family and friends who so generously donated and supported me for the Naples Marathon.

Taking on the marathon at 47 was a very special challenge for me, but it meant even more knowing that every step was dedicated to the Greek Parents Association (GPA) as it celebrates its 75th anniversary.

The cause is something very close to my heart. Our Greek schools are much more than places of learning. They are where our children build lifelong friendships, connect with their heritage, and help keep the Greek language, culture and traditions alive for future generations. They give our children a real sense of koinotita, community, friendship and belonging.

As Treasurer at Ashmole Greek School, I see first-hand the time and effort that parents, teachers and volunteers put in to create these opportunities for our children. That made it especially meaningful to run not just as a personal challenge, but to raise money to support the work of the GPA and its schools.

The funds you helped raise will contribute towards resources, cultural activities and opportunities that enrich our children’s experience beyond the classroom. Every single donation, whatever the amount, played a part.

I’m genuinely touched by the generosity, messages and encouragement I received. Knowing that so many family members and friends were behind me gave me even more motivation, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had your support.

So, from me and on behalf of everyone who will benefit from your generosity:

Σας ευχαριστώ από καρδιάς — thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

With love and thanks,
Antoni
