Half Marathon in Nicosia to Support Affected Families

The Mayor of Nicosia Turkish Municipality, Mehmet Harmancı, has taken steps to ensure that the proceeds from the upcoming Nicosia Half Marathon in October are directed to the families of the victims of the tragic shipwreck off the coast of Girne.

Harmancı stated that he would present this proposal to the relevant committee tomorrow. This marathon not only serves as a sporting event but also presents a significant opportunity for community solidarity. The allocation of the event's income to families in need will reinforce the sense of unity and togetherness within the community.

The approach taken by Girne Mayor Murat Şenkul, who has decided to channel the proceeds from the Girne Half Marathon to the families affected by the tragedy, allows for an expansion of this solidarity.

Such events are recognized for their importance in promoting sports and social responsibility projects. The Nicosia Half Marathon aims to raise awareness within the community by bringing together participants and supporters.

Harmancı emphasized that this marathon is not just a race but a movement of solidarity. Knowing that participants will be serving a cause while running is expected to encourage participation in the event.

Organizing such activities is anticipated to strengthen community ties and bring people together. The Nicosia Half Marathon aims to contribute to a society that is united in solidarity, going beyond being merely a sporting event.
