The Prize

Take home this original drawing by illustrator Rob Dakar Meli.

Simone Moro, one of the greatest mountaineerers in the world and ambassador for the Telethon 2017 marathon, has donated this original drawing to the charity, signed by illustrator Rob Dakar Meli, depicting the weekly reports sent by Simone Moro and Tamara Lunger during their winter mountain expedition to Kanchenjunga carried out this year.

Situated on the border between Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim, Kanchenjunga stands at 8,586 m (28,169 ft) above sea level, making it the third highest mountain on earth.

Rob Dakar is one of the most popular cartoonists on the Italian scene and his character illustrations attract a wide audience, often appearing in leading publications.

The Cause

Since 1990, we have been investing in the best research to find cures for rare genetic diseases. Because these diseases are so rare, often times there is no research being done on them, never mind therapeutic options or a cure.

We want to change this state of affairs because we believe that every person is worth fighting for.

We focus on transforming the results of excellent scientific research projects, selected and supported over time, into accessible treatments.

Finding a cure is not the final destination but a new starting point. We have to make every possible effort to guarantee that successful forms of treatment discovered through the research funded by Telethon are then made available to all patients.

For this reason we also work to develop partnerships with public health care institutions and pharmaceutical companies, so that the results of our research will translate to treatment and medicine accessible to all patients worldwide.
