A WINNER IS A DREAMER WHO NEVER GIVES UP

MY STORY : I really love sport: I have practised  athletics since I was 13 years old and I quitted competitions 7 years ago mostly because of health problems. In the meantime I have always been running and I also have been practising a lot of other sports such as cycling and surfing that reinforced my determination.

During this year I decided to start running again with the idea of raising awareness about health problems.

As of matter of fact I chose to run for no-one team; instead I decided to finance competitions by myself  and I create my own race-running t-shirt with the logo of 3 no-profit organizations I collaborated with.

These 3 organizations are :

1.     “Atletica 2000” : which is a team of people with disabilities I supported in basketball and athletics for about five years. (The truth is that these guys really helped me a lot with their sensibility and also they taught me to NEVER GIVE UP BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS ITS OWN LIMITS.

2.     “Medici con l’Africa CUAMM” : a ONG that struggles “to find ways and means to make lifesaving treatment avaible to all who need it” according with Nelson Mandela's proposal. I’m in contact with this no-profit organization because I attended a training class in order to become a “project manager” in Africa. (As o matter of fact I would like to give my contribution to this Continent, also thanks to my background in Economic studies)

3.     “Associazione Minerva” : a ONLUS that tries to help relatives of people affected by a mental disease called “Bipolar Disorder” and at the same time informs people fighting against common prejudige connected with this kind of  disequilibrium. All the same, several recent studies have showed that people genetically predisposed to bipolar disorder are more likely than others to show high levels of creativity, particulary in artistic fields where strong verbal skills are helpful.

MY GOAL

I intend to rise funds through competitions because I really agree with Jean Giraudoux when he says: “Lo sport consiste nel delegare al corpo alcune delle più elevate virtù dell’animo.”

In particular I would like to finance (as I can) the project of “Mothers and Children First” through running competions  like 10km and half-marathon.
