Hey All,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be running the London Marathon on 27th April 2025!

I’ll be raising funds for the British Liver Trust - a cause that couldn’t be closer to mine and my family’s hearts.

I was born in Puglia, in the south of Italy in December 1996. Only 40 days after birth I began to display symptoms of a liver malfunction and following a few blood tests I was diagnosed with a biliary atresia.

My family were told that the only way for me to survive was to receive a liver transplant.

I immediately underwent the "Kasai" surgery to prevent further liver damage and be in the best condition to receive the transplant. On August 26th 1997, at only 8 months old, I finally received a liver transplant at King's College Hospital in London, the best gift I could have ever asked for.

Luckily, since that day I have been able to go from strength to strength, and have been lucky enough to travel the world, relocate to London to complete an undergraduate in Business and Management, and meet lots of incredible people along the way!

I am currently working at Dassault Systemes, a multinational software corporation which develops software for 3D product design, simulation and manufacturing. I also have the most beautiful and supportive wife to be!!

I have always been a major advocate of how important organ donation is and how it can save lives. I want to use this platform to share my story as much as possible to inspire and support families and children in the same position.

I’m committed to training and pushing my limits to raise awareness and funds for this amazing cause. But I can’t do it alone—I need your help! I will take you along with me on every step of the journey to prepare for the marathon, bring on April 2025!

Every donation, no matter the size, will bring us closer to our goal and provide support to those who need it most. The funds raised will go directly towards vital programs that help improve the lives of children undergoing liver transplants and their families. This includes funding for medical equipment, educational resources, and support services that make a real difference during incredibly tough times.

Thank you for considering a donation to this important cause. Together, we can create a brighter future!
