Archbishop Sotirios of Canada was visited in his office by Athanasios (Thomas) Zachos, his sister Vasiliki, his father Konstantinos and his grandmother Vasiliki Zacharopoulou.
Athanasios is a wonderful young man who suffers from mitochondrial myopathy which, as is well known, is a very serious disease, but he faces it courageously and with Christian faith.
In his honour, a chair for mitochondrial disease research has been established at the University of Toronto.
The name of the chair is Thomas C. Zachos. They were received with great joy by Archbishop Sotirios.
