Dr.Maria Nikolaou: There are multiple ways to contribute. Members of the community can donate to ”FLOGA”, participate in local fundraising initiatives, or volunteer their time to help organize similar events. Spreading awareness through social media about the challenges faced by children with cancer also plays a significant role in garnering support.

Dr. Maria Nikolaou: Community initiatives like this are essential. They not only provide immediate support but also create a lasting network of care. Schools,health sectors,and local businesses coming together embody a holistic approach to fighting childhood illnesses. Such collaborative efforts can lead to better outcomes and enhance the overall psychosocial health of affected families.
