Meeting in Piazza Castello


Tomorrow morning at 10.30 there is a meeting for everyone in Piazza Castello, to spend a great day together in solidarity dedicated to the disabled their friends, care-takers and athletes of various sports. For about 4 to 5 km we will walk in the center of Milan to share the great emotions of New Frontiers, this year in it’s second edition.
The press conference Wednesday was very intense when the Director of Sport for the City and the Region, Alan Rizzi and Cristina Stancari, spoke with enthusiasm supporting the event “of great importance.” “It is an honor for the city of Milano to host NEW FRONTIERS, it is an event that should be extended to other communities,” said Director Rizzi while Director Stancari praised our determination to continue this iniciative and gave her complete availability for organizing the next edition. The interview of Giusy Versace was touching, an bilaterally amputee athlete and our testimonial, who told the audience of her story as a disabled woman athlete. As for my part, I described the difficult journey that after a year and a half I finally realized my dream to maintain NEW FRONTIERS and at the end I gave the Directors, Giusy and Fabio, my desert companion, the race tops personalized with their respective names that tomorrow they will wear to walk together with lots of friends and to remember how important it is to sustain and help the disabled in athletics and in life.
