The Foundation initiated its fundraising by soliciting donations for the Spartan Institution for Incurable Illness, also known as the Temple of Love. The Institution is located on the cliff of Mount Taygetus, with a panoramic view overlooking the Byzantine fortress in Mystra. This facility offers shelter, care and treatment to children, adolescents and adults who are afflicted with chronic incurable illness and who have no family and financial means.

The original founders of the Incurable Illness Foundation had a vision to help raise funds to offer the best possible medical care for those afflicted with incurable diseases. The original purpose was to raise funds for the Incurable Illness Foundation in Sparta, Greece. However the Foundation’s objectives have branched into other needy and worthy charities such as Sloan Kettering, American Red Cross, Helen Keller Services for the Blind and many others. Currently, we are concentrating on raising funds to support the PATH Family Center which helps evaluate and treat autistic children.

In addition to our Executive Board, Directors, Founders and Advisory Board, we hold in great esteem and extend our deepest gratitude to the following past and present members of our foundation:
