The Prize

Take home this Italy Paralympic cycling team jersey worn by Alex Zanardi for the Rio 2016 Paralympics.

The former Formula 1 racing driver finished first in the time trial of the H5 para-cycling classification, in which he is also the reigning world champion. After an incredible comeback, he managed to defeat the Australian Stuart Tripp.

Born in Bologna on October 23, 1966, Zanardi became CART world champion in 1997 and 1998, and Italian superturism champion in 2005. In para-cycling he has won four gold medals (at the Paralympic Games in London 2012 and Rio 2016) and eight titles in the world road championships.

The Cause

“WE RUN TOGETHER – Supporting our team” is a sports initiative supporting two hospitals that have been at the heart of the fight against Covid-19, the Papa Giovanni XXIII in Bergamo and the Fondazione Poliambulanza in Brescia. The funds raised from the auctions will go to the medical and nursing staff of these two hospitals that have tirelessly looked after Coronavirus patients in recent months.

This campaign has received the extraordinary support and blessing of Pope Francis who is actively involved in the initiative by donating some of his own personal highly valuable and prestigious sports items. Besides the Pope, many internationally renowned athletes, companies and sports clubs have joined the cause because we’re stronger together.

WE RUN TOGETHER is promoted and organized by four organizations that have always been committed to promoting the value of sport as a tool for inclusion, sharing, dialogue and peace. These organizations are:

Atheltica Vaticana, the first sports club in Vatican City
Sports group Fiamme Gialle (Guardia di Finanza)
“Cortile dei Gentili”, department of the Pontifical Council for Culture (VA) to promote dialogue between believers and non-believers
FIDAL-Lazio, Lazio region Athletic Federation.
