Penny Marathon from Australia to Greece

Ellie Prodromou the Greek-Australian founder of the charity worked as a journalist in Greece for five years and Penny was a dog who would meet her at the bus stop every morning. One day, Penny wasnt there waiting for Ellie. A security guard pointed out a corpse on the side of the road - Penny had either been run over by a car or poisoned, as it keeps happening with so many stray dogs and cats in Greece who get to survive on their own as strays. In Pennys honor, Ellie named her charity after her. And this is how it all started. Penny Marathon takes place every year in Greece and Australia, as katerina Pesoni told Sotiris Hatzimanolis
