The public television station "Nea Television"
organised a of Love for the Annousakeio Therapeutic Centre on
March 31 2007.
The aim was to raise money for the Annousakeio
Centre’s wide range Resident and Non-Resident services and programmes: services
provided inside the therapeutic centre, the two home care services and the
three physiotherapeutic centres which operate in different regions. In
addition, funds were allocated toward the completion of the new independent
wing for elderly couples who often cannot be placed together, at least not without
a very long waiting period.
As part of the television panel, many
representatives of the Church, the State and the social institutions supported
the marathon of love.
The local community responded to the Annousakeio
Centre’s plea for help and an important sum of money was raised, expressing the
public’s sensitivity towards those who require care but are alone or do not
have sufficient familial support, or are unable to care for themselves due to
health problems and do not have access to the health services that exist at the
urban centres.
