"Xanarhi-ZO", People with Cancer Experience of Kalamata Association
The "Xanarhi-ZO" of People with Cancer Experience of Kalamata Association was founded in 2009 by the late Eva Koutsavdis, and its motto is: "When fear can become strength". The Association aims to inform and raise local community awareness, provide psycho-emotional support to people with cancer experience, and deal with their practical problems.
The Association collaborates with other bodies and organisations, specialist scientists and oncologists, while its members use their cancer experience in a safe environment characterised by respect and the absence of criticism.
Every year, the "Xanarhi-ZO" Association organises various actions, such as informative speeches, workshops, solidarity blood donations, a bazaar, as well as the annual Kalamata Road Race (10 km distance).
