When Communities Connect, Borders Disappear.
We are incredibly proud to see Miles of Smiles featured in the latest edition of Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland Magazine.
What began as one person’s personal journey has grown into a powerful community movement, bringing people together to raise awareness for mental health, cancer support, and the importance of human connection.
At Rotary Cetatuie Cluj-Napoca, we believe this is what Rotary is all about.
Service Above Self is more than a motto—it is a commitment to supporting communities, wherever they are, and building friendships that extend beyond borders.
That is why we proudly support Miles of Smiles and the remarkable work of Marius Coste, whose 82-week challenge continues to inspire thousands of people across Scotland through kindness, resilience and community spirit.
Mental health, cancer support and community wellbeing are challenges that affect us all, regardless of where we live. By working together, Rotary clubs can amplify local initiatives and create international impact.
We hope this is only the beginning of stronger connections between Rotary clubs in Romania, Scotland and across the United Kingdom, creating opportunities to share ideas, support meaningful causes and develop future community projects together.
Congratulations, Marius, on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you to Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland Magazine for sharing such an inspiring story.

Suntem mândri că inițiativa Miles of Smiles, pe care Rotary Cetățuie Cluj-Napoca o susține, este prezentată în revista Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland.
Credem că sănătatea mintală, sprijinul pentru persoanele afectate de cancer și bunăstarea comunităților sunt cauze care ne unesc, indiferent de țară. Ne dorim ca această inițiativă să fie începutul unor colaborări frumoase între cluburi Rotary din România, Scoția și Marea Britanie.
