Global Wellness Day this year, set to take place 11 June, will honour the memory and legacy of Charlene Florian, chief creative officer of Kerstin Florian, who died last month following a battle with cancer.

Belgin Aksoy, founder of Global Wellness Day, has dedicated the global event to Florian “to honour and commemorate her memory,” she said.

The organisation has also partnered with TEMA – the Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, for Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats – to plant 2,000 trees in Turkey, which will be known as the Charlene Florian Forest.

“Charlene was always a nature lover, and one of her passions was to make the world a better place,” said Aksoy in a letter to Global Wellness Day supporters. “We encourage you to take part in this endeavour and spread Charlene Florian Forests around the world so that her loving memory will not only live in our hearts but continue to blossom for future generations to cherish. Charlene has left her footprints on the wellness world and will never be forgotten.”
