A mission to spread HOPE!

Raffaele Giusti is not just a runner, he is a cancer doctor and a warrior.

On July 28, 2024, he will tackle the epic Gran Sasso Ultramarathon for Strongers, a 50-kilometer race in the mountains of Abruzzo.

 

His challenge is not only personal, but also against lung cancer.

Raphael runs to raise money for scientific research into this devastating disease. Every step, every drop of sweat, every labored breath is a message of hope for those battling cancer.

Although his work at the hospital fills most of his days, Raphael tenaciously manages to train and do his best to support the cause. His story is an example for all of us, teaching us that with tenacity, courage and determination even the most difficult obstacles can be overcome.

 

It spurs us to challenge ourselves, challenge our limits and do our part for a better world.

You too can make a difference.

Let’s run, swim, bike, face our challenges and support research for a lung cancer-free future.
