**Lexus Cycling Dream Team Honoured for Contribution to Karaiskakio Foundation**
The Lexus Cycling Dream Team received special recognition for its philanthropic efforts during a ceremony commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Karaiskakio Foundation. The event took place on September 23, 2026, at the Olympic House in Nicosia, where the team was acknowledged for its significant contribution to the foundation's initiatives.
The honour was specifically related to the "Ride of Love 2025" (Agonas Agapis 2025), a fundraising campaign through which the Lexus Cycling Dream Team successfully raised and donated €25,000. This contribution is earmarked to support the Paediatric Cancer Centre’s screening and diagnostic programme, a crucial service for children battling cancer.
To achieve this fundraising goal, members of the Lexus Cycling Dream Team undertook an impressive challenge, cycling 175 kilometres off-road from Polis Chrysochous to Limassol. The arduous journey not only tested their physical endurance but also highlighted their commitment to a cause that directly impacts the lives of children and families dealing with cancer.
Marios Skandalis, a representative of the Lexus Cycling Dream Team, expressed the significance of the recognition, stating, “This recognition is particularly meaningful to all of us because it reflects a collective effort with a very specific purpose: to provide meaningful support where there is a genuine need.” He extended gratitude to the Karaiskakio Foundation and all supporters who contributed to the success of the "Ride of Love 2025."
The Lexus Cycling Dream Team's dedication to charitable causes does not stop with their recent achievement. They are already planning their next initiative, the "Ride of Love 2026," scheduled for November 6 and 7, 2026. This upcoming event will see the team cycling 165 off-road kilometres from Nicosia to Limassol, with proceeds aimed at supporting the Stella Soulioti Children’s Therapeutic Centre of the Cyprus Red Cross.
The ongoing efforts of the Lexus Cycling Dream Team exemplify a strong commitment to community service and highlight the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing health-related challenges faced by children in Cyprus. More information regarding the "Ride of Love 2026" and how individuals can contribute to this noble cause will be made available to the public as the event date approaches.
