(ENG) From Bologna to San Francisco to fight cancer…in my own way!

…a blog on baseball, the Giants, Beatles, running, poetry…

 

From Bologna to San Francisco to symbolize a bridge uniting us all in the fight against cancer.

Bologna and San Francisco, two cities so important to me. In one I was born and raised, I live the city every day, at work, having fun, with my friends. The other is the home of the Giants, I live the city every night (well almost) watching the games in live steaming on my TV... because I simply LOVE baseball! ..and the Giants!

From Bologna to San Francisco to raise funds for Italian Cancer League (LILT), a charity committed, for over 90 years, to the fight against cancer and support for patients and their families.

This is the idea…

Two races (5K):
in May, the “Strabologna”, in my home town, along well known streets, to support those I know who are facing cancer every day, themselves, a relative, a friend;

in August, the “Fog City Run” in San Fran, to support all those that I've never met who are battling the same plague.

Why’s that? Because I do believe that cancer will be beaten only if we all take part to the fight! Every and each of us in our own way. This is my way to stand up…you may get inspiration to find your own!

I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. - Nietzsche

Please support my run! ...with just one click on the widget: every contribution is important for LILT and very very appreciated!

All contributions will support the Italian Cancer League, Bologna activities to prevent and fight cancer, especially for those most in need:

• Early detection programs for foreign women who do not have access to the National Health System. Nationalities most involved in the project are: Eastern Europe, North Africa, Africa, Latin America, and the Philippines. 
• Early detection programs for breast and ovarian cancers for women who can neither afford a private practice nor even the “ticket” to access the National Health System. 
• Early diagnosis for the elderly. 

EVERY CONTRIBUTION IS IMPORTANT AND VERY APPRECIATED!

10€ covers hemoccult costs for someone who cannot afford it
15€ covers pap test costs for a woman who cannot afford it
30€ covers pap test costs and specialist clinical exam
100€ covers a specialist clinical exam, ultrasound for breast cancer early detection, pap test costs, and a follow-up visit for a woman who cannot afford it.

THANK YOU!
