In a post on her personal Instagram account, his wife, Dora Tsambazi, informed about the completion of the relevant process, stressing that it was the first time the family really smiled since the day the Olympian left.
The auction of the Olympic medals of the Olympian Alexandros Nikolaidis, who passed away in October after a hard battle with a rare form of cancer, NUT carcinoma, ended at midnight.
The auction of his medals was his last wish and the money raised from it will be given directly and equally to seven non-profit organizations and the 2 families affected by the October 15th phenomena in Crete.
In a post on her personal Instagram account, his wife, Dora Tsambazi, informed about the completion of the relevant process, stressing that it was the first time the family really smiled since the day the Olympian left.
“As if our hearts somehow fell back into place” commented Ms. Tsambazi.
“We still cannot realize the magnitude of the love and help of the world, businessmen, ordinary people who persisted until the last moment in their effort to offer a high amount for a good cause in a process unprecedented in Greek terms, since he is the first Greek athlete auctioning his medals.
Even more touching is the intention of several participants to deposit the amount of their offer to the institutions we have chosen, even if they have not “won” the auction.
There are no winners and losers in this endeavor. We have all won, because society and man have won. The money will be given directly by the bidders to the bank accounts of the organizations equally.
May all of you be well. Happy holidays and good health to everyone“, she said in her post.
