The Stoiximan Wheels of Change team is expanding its activities to Cyprus through a new strategic partnership with Ablebook and “Yparcho”, sharing a common goal of promoting equal participation in sports.
The team’s first participation in Cyprus took place during the Aphrodite Half Marathon in Polis Chrysochous on Sunday, April 19, marking the launch of the initiative’s local presence. A total of 31 participants took part, including 9 people with disabilities who participated in the 5-kilometer race.
Through this collaboration, the Stoiximan Wheels of Change program joins forces with Ablebook, an innovative accessibility and inclusion platform-app, as well as “Yparcho Education and Rehabilitation Center”, an organization focused on empowering and supporting vulnerable groups, particularly in sports. Together, they aim to significantly strengthen inclusive initiatives across Cyprus.
The Stoiximan Wheels of Change program, which has already established a successful presence in Greece with more than 5,000 participants to date, creates opportunities for people with disabilities to actively participate in sports events, highlighting in practice the importance of accessibility, teamwork, and inclusion. The initiative is also planning a strong presence in upcoming marathons in Larnaca, Limassol, and Nicosia.
Its expansion into Cyprus represents an important step toward strengthening a society without exclusions, where everyone has the opportunity to participate equally in sports and social life.
Stoiximan remains committed to creating initiatives with meaningful social impact, proving that collaboration can become a catalyst for positive change.
Because when we run together, we create a world that is more accessible for everyone.
