This weekend, Marius Coste, Group Manager at Elior UK, ran through Aberdeen City Centre dressed as Superman, proudly representing Rotary Club Cluj-Napoca Cetatuie, Romania.
His mission: the 82 Weeks – Miles of Smiles campaign, supporting Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) and Clan Cancer Support.
Every step sends a powerful message: hope, courage, and kindness know no borders. From Romania to Scotland, communities united can inspire smiles and change lives.
Key Progress – Week 39 of 82:
- 2,486 km completed (cycled, ran, walked) since June 2025
- £2,982 raised for SAMH and Clan Cancer Support
- 194 cold showers | 43 cold dips
How Aberdeen & Grampian Businesses Can Get Involved:
- Join a run – take part in a family-friendly fun run alongside Marius
- Support upcoming raffles – donate prizes to help raise funds for these amazing causes
- Host a mental health talk – invite Marius to your workplace to hear his inspiring story and motivation
- Support in any other way – every contribution counts toward mental health awareness and cancer support
This weekend also coincided with International Women’s Day, a celebration of resilience, courage, and leadership — reflecting the strength and solidarity that Marius’ campaign embodies.
82 Weeks. Millions of smiles. One unstoppable mission.
