In May Martina Maccari will travel from the Adriatic to Turin to finance the purchase of an exoscope for the Regina Margherita: We want to reciprocate what they have given us

Just under a month, 26 days, covering 575 kilometers with a single wish: raise funds for the Neurosurgery department of the Regina Margherita hospital in Turin.

Departure close to delta of the Po, from the Lido di Volano to Ferrara, to reach the Piedmontese capital on foot, passing through cities such as Ferrara, Parma, Pavia, collecting experiences, lives and events along the way. Partir Sulla Stessa Strada, the first charity initiative of Nttare, an innovative publishing project launched by Martina Maccari, wife of the Juventus and national team defender, Leonardo Bonucci.

Let’s start on May 1st and during the 26 days shows and meetings dedicated to children and families will be organized. Turin will be the stage destined to close the initiative, with the arrival scheduled for May 26th. The idea comes from a personal experience lived by the Bonucci family, from their meeting with the Neurosurgery department of Regina Margherita in the darkest moment of their journey, when in 2016 little Matteo – at the time of two years – was diagnosed with illness, was operated on and remained under observation in hospital for 25 days.

And it is precisely in that department that Martina intends to return accompanied by those who have united along the way, for consymbolically to give the funds raised, through his Onlus Neuroland, with the aim of purchasing a special machine for delicate brain surgery. An exoscope, a machine that allows the surgery performed by the surgeon to be projected into the operating room. This way more people can see in real time what is happening to help the doctor and make better decisions.

This is a project that I have been organizing for some time and that I strongly wanted, to fulfill my desire to concretely return the gift received to the hospital. Queen Margherita. They will be 26 days on the roadfar from my family, but who will undoubtedly join me in another “family”: the one who will and will be able to share with me the way to reciprocate in a concrete way what has been donated, the words of Martina, founder of Nttare.

The methods of donation and participation are different: you can choose to support Martina for the entire route, a stage or a single moment of the day, taking part in the various initiatives that will take place along the way. All of this will also be broadcast on Nettore digital platforms and on dedicated social channels, with the aim of involving the entire community and amplifying the message of hope and the need to concretely help the little ones and their families. I believe there are journeys that take us much further than others, giving us the opportunity to participate in life and make a difference. Because love is a destination and I am convinced that On the Same Road can lead each of us to it, concluded Martina.
