First of all thank you for popping by this page.

 

It took some time for me to decide and raise money for charity doing something that I love.

This is not the first time though. Last ( and only) time was in 2007 when I ran the Boston marathon (what a nice time, do you remember, Giorgio?) and I raised money for the fight against breast cancer.

 

But this time it is different.  Firstly it’s not the Boston Marathon. Secondly, the cause is something very close to my day-to-day life: Kids and families dealing with Congenital Heart Defects.

 

The more I deal with CHD, the more I realise the importance of quality of life not only on the kids but also on their families.

 

But why KEEPTHEBEAT?

 

I can physically see what KTB does and feel the effort they put into it. It’ a consistent support to the health carers. And personally I felt that I wanted to contribute.

 

I love swimming and running (then eating ........and then cycling).

London Virgin Triathlon is a good excuse to combine what I love doing and help fantastic people to improve their quality of life..... (if only it was swimming/eating/running........)

 

So, if you haven t closed this page yet, please support me support KEEPTHEBEAT.......something like "Help me help you, help me help you (Cit. Form Jerry McGuire)

.....Another citation from the same movie would have been “Show. Me. The. Money.” But  it wouldn’t  have been a nice way to ask for pecuniary support.

 

There is no deadline.

 

In the meantime I will keep this page updated

 

GRAZIE MILLE
