Dimi walks to Rome

On September 14th 2023, I turned 40 years old. I wanted to celebrate this milestone in my life in a very special way. That's why I decided to walk from Morzine to Rome along the famous Via Francigena. A pilgrimage of 1136 kilometers. I took off on July 15th and I managed to arrive on my birthday on the majestic Saint Peter's Square in Rome. I'm so happy and grateful that I could make my dream happen. But I realize that I'm lucky. I'm healthy and that's why I can do big walking challenges like this one. Not everybody is as lucky. That is why I also wanted to help fulfilling the dreams of children with a life threatening illness. I couldn't do this on my own, but we could do this together and we did! My hope was to raise 1 euro for every kilometer that I walked. The result exceeded all my expectations. Just WAW! Thank you so much to everybody who made a donation.
