“Healthy mind in a healthy body”
Andrey and Julia Dashin’s Foundation was found in 2014 to house the charitable work that Andrey Dashin and Julia Dashina developed from 2000. In 2012, the Dashin’s decided to house their family and professional lives in Limassol, which became a second home for them.
According to the co-founder of the Dashin’s Foundation, Mrs. Julia Dashina, “Healthy children who love to exercise, grow into healthy adults who raise healthy families. It is thus with great pleasure that we support OPAP Marathon Limassol GSO’s Youth Race. We want to ensure that no child in Cyprus will have to pay to take part in the island’s biggest sporting event. The Ancient Greek saying “Healthy mind in a healthy body” is indeed something we should all look up to”.
Mr. Spyros Spyrou, CEO of the 11th OPAP Marathon Limassol GSO, stated that, “Thanks to the kind support of Andrey and Julia Dashin’s Foundation, thousands of kids and teenagers will participate again this year in the greatest athletic event of Limassol, and Cyprus, getting the perfect boost that will drive them to exercise continuously during their school years, as well as the rest of their lives”.
