Walk for Hope

The “Walk for Hope” event, organized to support oncology patients, was realized on Sunday in the tourism capital Girne.

The “Walk for Hope” walk, organized by the Deniz Yıldızı Aid Association to support oncology patients, saw strong participation.

Participants not only took part in a nature walk to raise awareness, but also delivered messages of solidarity.

The event—held for the fourth time this year in memory of the late Deniz Nasıfoğlu—also featured a variety of activities.

Alongside the nature walk, participants enjoyed kite flying, face painting, children’s colouring activities, Zumba shows, and food and beverage stands.

During the event, well-wishing cards were also prepared for individuals receiving treatment at the Oncology Department.

Speaking at the opening, Deniz Yıldızı Aid Association President Özlem Ratipler said they set out with the aim of bringing hope and act with a focus on compassion.

Ratipler emphasized that they remember Deniz Nasıfoğlu with respect and love and will continue to carry forward his mission.

Paediatric Haematology Specialist Dr. Ayşe Sayılı Erener also highlighted the importance of providing support alongside medical treatment, noting that such efforts form the foundation of awareness and solidarity.

Gülderen Nasıfoğlu, mother of the late Deniz Nasıfoğlu, thanked all individuals and organizations who participated in and supported the event.

Proceeds from the walk will be donated to the Children’s Department of the Oncology Hospital.
