All donations will go to Orizondas, an organization based in Chania, Crete that offers financial, moral and material support to children and adults who are fighting cancer and other life-saving diseases.  We hope you can help us reach our goal to help a number of families.  Our funds specifically will go to help offset the costs of housing in Athens while children are undergoing cancer treatments that cannot be done in Crete.
