The Italian Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association launches a multisensory event in Milan to support research on ALS. The appointment with ‘The good taste of research’, including cocktails, music, DJ sets and entertainment, is in the Galbusera store in Piazza San Babila on 23 November, from 5pm. In addition to enjoying an evening of fun and taste, with entrance free, the proceeds will be used for ALS research.
The Christmas initiative – explains a note – is designed to finance research on the neurodegenerative disease that affects the central nervous system. There is still no cure for this pathology with which around 6 thousand people live in Italy, so research is essential. Among the main research areas are the definition of early biomarkers of the disease, the testing of new pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, and the identification of genetic factors associated with ALS. The funds raised will be allocated to the 1 million euros that Aisla, the Cariplo Foundation, the Vialli e Mauro Foundation and the Telethon Foundation ensure every year for scientific research coordinated by the Italian ALS Research Foundation (AriSla). AriSla is the most important non-profit organization that finances scientific research on ALS in Italy. So far it has invested 15 million euros in innovative research projects selected by 143 researchers. The AriSla 2023 Call, currently in the selection phase, is part of AriSla’s strategic plan (2023-2025) and represents the new investment that the organization is directing towards ALS research to offer results with concrete implications for the clinic. The Foundation collaborates with numerous centers of excellence in Italy and abroad to guarantee the quality of the scientific research funded.
For an entire month, from November 23rd to December 23rd, with just 1 euro it will be possible to win one of the 50 thousand chocolates to support scientific research, enjoying the Caffarel Torino chocolate. Just go to one of the Galbusera Tre Marie sales points in Lombardy and Piacenza. But the fundraising doesn’t stop here: Aisla offers various options for donating online through its charity shop. This year the online Christmas proposal is entrusted to the historic Milanese pastry shop and Vergani bakery, with pandoro, gourmet panettone and dedicated Christmas baskets. Aisla’s solidarity march, in the year of celebrations for the 40th anniversary, is becoming increasingly choral and participatory – concludes the note – thanks also to the companies that increasingly believe in solidarity giving.
