The Prize

Take home Sara Cardin's signed glove, Karate World Champion and European Multi-Champion. The glove was worn in the last European championship in Serbia.

Corporal of the Italian Army, Sara is the most successful Karateka in Italian history. She has been training since she was 7 and at 14 she won her first Italian championship. Since then she has won numerous other titles, both nationally and internationally. She won silver at the Belgrade World Cup in 2010 and gold at the 2014 World Cup. She has also won the European Championships seven times (2010, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018) in the -55 kg category. She is precise and tenacious and knows that you have to train hard to win. Every competition is a chance for her to display her desire to fight as a woman, as well as a strong message of social aggregation, through sport. Sara knows that it's not just the results that make an athlete great, but also their attitude and respect both in competition and beyond.

Her philosophy is: “A fall is never just a fall. It is also always an opportunity."

The Cause

For over 15 years OBM ONLUS has been committed to offering aid to women, children and families who come to the Vittore Buzzi Children's Hospital in Milan, helping to make their experience gentler as they are treated, offering them a welcoming environment and giving them access to healthcare excellence and technological innovation. OBM ONLUS operates daily in 3 specific areas to provide optimal solutions for children, babies and their parents, so that they can receive the best care to grow up healthy and happy:

1) giving the hospital a human touch by creating colorful play areas for children, offering a warm welcome to aid treatment and reduce the stress of hospital stays;

2) providing assistance to families by offering psychological support and hospitality to make their experience less traumatic;

3) aiding technological development within the hospital by purchasing medical and diagnostic equipment.

The hospital is still in the middle of the COVID emergency. There have been better times but now we have a lot of sick children. We have decided to strengthen the neonatology area, so that every newborn can be welcomed in the safest way possible. COVID has seen an increase in premature births and so the hospital needs more special cots to help the newborns grow strong. Our goal is to donate an Infant Warmer to the Buzzi Neonatology department, a station complete with all the necessary equipment to be used in the dedicated COVID area or moved to the delivery room.
