Story

Ciao there! I'm Sara, an Italian woman with a heart full of wanderlust and a passion for sports that has taken me on a thrilling journey across continents. From the sun-kissed shores of Australia to the bustling streets of the United States, and now the charming city of Cambridge in the UK, life has been an adventure.

But amid all the travels and changes, one constant has been the love I share with my amazing husband, Andrea. Our paths crossed on a racing track, as we both pushed our limits in a triathlon team in Milan. Little did I know that this exhilarating shared pursuit of athleticism would pave the way to a beautiful journey of love and partnership.

Our family is completed by two bundles of energy and joy, our sons Leonardo and Alessandro. They keep us on our toes, reminding us that life's greatest victories often come in the form of their laughter and hugs. 

Our lives have changed a lot since they were born, and as a woman I have struggled to find my place again in the world. The first months/years of motherhood are exhilarating but also exhausting and it can be hard to keep everything together. The support of Andrea and my love for exercising has helped me throughout this journey and it's now time to give back and hopefully be an exemple for all those women that struggle and are looking for help. 

I have decided to embark on a new challenge – one that combines our passion for sports with a heartfelt commitment to making a difference. I've taken the plunge and registered for the iconic London Marathon in 2024. It's not just about completing those 26.2 miles; it's about raising awareness and funds for a cause dear to our hearts.

We've chosen to fundraise for the Papworth Trust, an organization dedicated to creating a world where disabled people are seen for their abilities, not their disabilities. Their work in providing essential support, services, and opportunities empowers individuals to live the lives they deserve.

As I train my body and mind for the upcoming marathon, I invite you to join me on this journey. Your support means the world to me, and every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to my goal. Your donation will not only push us to conquer those miles but will also bring us immense joy in knowing that together, we're making a meaningful impact.

So, whether you've followed my journey from the triathlon days or you've just met us along the way, we thank you for being a part of this adventure. Your encouragement, cheers, and support will carry us through the finish line, and more importantly, will help the Papworth Trust continue their incredible work.

Grazie mille for joining us in this chapter of our story. Together, let's make each step count – for us, for the Papworth Trust, and for a better, more inclusive world. Onwards to the London Marathon 2024!

With love and gratitude,

Sara, Andrea, Leonardo, and Alessandro
