Walk The Real Greek - again!
Event date: March 5, 2023
#WalkTheRealGreek
On Sunday 5th March 2023 (for the second time) a group of us from The Real Greek, including Christos’s family and friends, will be walking a half marathon between 5 of our London based The Real Greek restaurants, to raise more funds and awareness for this terrible disease and of course, to walk in Christos’ memory. The two fantastic charities that we are fundraising for are Pancreatic Cancer UK and CRIS Cancer Foundation.
Throughout our lives, if we’re lucky, we get to interact with a few very special people. Our Operations Director, Christos Karatzenis was one of those rare, gifted people. He was the heart and soul of The Real Greek behind the scenes, a true leader who loved his job and was respected by all. The Real Greek was his passion and he made it his mission to bring the taste of Greece and original Greek hospitality to every person dining in our restaurants.
Sadly, in February 2020, Christos lost a very short and unfair battle with pancreatic cancer, leaving us unexpectedly…
To honour the memory of Christos, who’s loss was devastating to us, The Real Greek has partnered with Pancreatic Cancer UK and we are continually raising funds through lots of different activities, such as donating 25p for every Pork Skewer meze dish that is ordered in the restaurants. This #WalkTheRealGreek challenge is the second of its kind, in partnership with Pancreatic Cancer, CRIS Cancer Foundation, and with Vasilis Karatzenis (Christos’ brother) company, VDK Capital.
Please support us by giving what you can.
In loving memory of Christos Karatzenis 1966 – 2020
