The work of the “ELPIDA” Association

The “ELPIDA Association of Friends of Children with cancer” was founded in 1990 by a group of dynamic women, with Mrs. Marianna V. Vardinoyannis as its President.

From its founding until today, “ELPIDA” has actualised a comprehensive framework of treatment and support for children suffering from cancer and for their families, raising the awareness of the Greek people, who embrace its vision and support its work.
