Last year, on the occasion of the European Championships, which were held in Porec, Croatia, a terrible accident occurred, resulting in the serious injury of one of our judo family members.
Rising star, Aris Leonidis of Greece suffered a very serious spinal injury and was immediately operated on, before transport was arranged for him to return home to Greece and enter an intensive rehabilitation programme.
He has now been cared for at both KAT General Hospital and ANIMUS Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre. While our supportive messages and faith in his recovery are a comfort, in order to really help Aris, he needs our financial support. Anything that you can contribute will go a long way. For us 1€ is not a lot, but if many can make even a small donation it will be life changing for Aris.
