Aliki: Behind-The-Scenes

At Banc De Binary, we’re very excited to be sponsoring Aliki Chrysochou to run the Virgin Money London Marathon, and to help raise money and awareness for Encephalitis.

Preparing to run a 42K Marathon is no simple task, and after talking to Aliki we felt it was important to share her journey. Not only is Aliki’s battle with encephalitis inspiring, but so is her dedication to spreading awareness about this condition. That’s why we have created a four part documentary series which shares Aliki’s personal story and goals, and gives you a real insight into what goes into preparing for a marathon.

Filming the series was like running a mini-marathon. All of the filming took place in Cyprus, and we found ourselves all over the Island!

Lady Mile Beach, Cyprus

Aliki was very warm and bubbly. She spoke of her experience with encephalitis, and why running the marathon is so important to her.

“I decided to run the marathon over a cup of tea while I was sitting on the couch!”

When it comes to training for the Marathon, Aliki has total dedication. As a professional singer she is no stranger to vigorous training, and says that when she commits to something it is “all or nothing.”

“The hardest part about the marathon is the expectation I have from everyone around me.”

In our second video, Aliki discusses the importance of strength. Aliki has found strength in her battle with encephalitis, and shares with us how that strength has helped her become the person she is today.
