The Rotary Club Lanciano Costa dei Trabocchi and the Amateur Sports Association Il Crampo, under the auspices of the Municipality of Rocca San Giovanni, are organizing a charity running race for Sunday October 1, with the main objective of raising funds for one of the most important projects of the Rotary International: End Polio Now. The sums raised will contribute
to permanently eradicate polio, a disease that has been almost completely eradicated except in the only two countries in the world where it remains endemic, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The event will start at 9 am on Sunday with a meeting point in Piazza degli Eroi and you will be able to choose between three types of activities that will take place in the surrounding area of ​​the city: the race on foot (about 10 km), the non-competitive walk (about 2.5 km) and a race for children.
Part of the funds raised will be allocated to a project of the Rotary Club at the local level: the construction of a rainwater recovery unit with an irrigation system for the horticultural laboratory of the ANFASS headquarters in Santa Maria Imbaro.
The satisfaction of Flavia Antonacci, President of the Lanciano Costa dei Trabocchi Rotary: “Combining the spirit of service to those in need and my passion for sports, the idea of ​​the running race was born. thanks to the synergy with local clubs and companies we managed to organize a moment where the spirit of competition will be united with fun and solidarity. I hope many of us will participate.”
“For us, solidarity is the additional tool that we have always been proud of and since I joined the Society as President it has become one of the most important strengths. – The President of ASD Il Crampo, Pino Menna – These are welcome partnerships. Special thanks to Rotary Lanciano Costa dei Trabocchi for the opportunity it gave us and to the Administration of Rocca San Giovanni, especially the Mayor, who accepted our proposal and made us feel immediately at home.”
