Charity

In 2024 Tour du Rutor rhymes with solidarity. To celebrate the twentieth edition two charities will receive some donations: Sanonani House and  Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori (LILT).

Helping people and the most needy children and foster the promotion of the scientific research represent two moral commitments nobody can escape from.

The Associations

 

Sanonani Onlus association has been founded in 2015 in order to help Nepalese children thanks to the will of the alpine guide Marco Camandona and his wife Barbara, together with the cooperation of their friends Paola, Lara, Fausta and Andrea and a group of alpinists and their wives. During the years the founders have been upheld by a great number of supporters and volunteers, friends and benefactors. The orphanage Sanonani (which means little child in Nepalese) is situated in the suburb of Kathmandu (where life conditions are much more difficult) and nowadays it accommodates 25 children (either orphans or needy children) who can attend the public school and live in their homeland keeping their customs. The most important aim consist in helping these people by respecting and preserving their culture, their language, their religion and their thought. It is a concrete way to express gratitude to Nepalese people for their behaviour towards the alpinists which respect nature and environment.

 The Italian League for the Fight against Cancer - LILT - is the only association-based public body based in Rome, supervised by the Ministry of Health, divided into 106
Provincial Associations. It operates on a non-profit basis whose primary institutional task is to spread the “culture of prevention” (primary,secondary and tertiary) as a way of life.
LILT mainly deals with:
– primary prevention (lifestyles and habits: combating smoking and environmental and occupational carcinogenesis, correct and healthy diet, regular physical activity);
– secondary prevention (accelerated procedures for increasingly early diagnosis);
– tertiary prevention (caring for the patient, the rehabilitation aspects - physical, psychological, social and occupational ones - and their families);
– scientific research.
