To him and his family, we must say: we are with you, you are not alone.”
— Giovanni Verga, President
Why Run the Wizz Air Milano Marathon 2026 with Fondazione Maria Letizia Verga?
Running a marathon is a personal challenge — it takes perseverance, training, and heart.
But when you run for a cause that can change the lives of children and families, every step takes on a deeper meaning.
At the Wizz Air Milano Marathon, you can turn your kilometers into solidarity.
By running for Fondazione Maria Letizia Verga, you’ll help fund research, treatment, and family support for children battling leukemia and lymphoma.
It means giving them what matters most: hope.
What Fondazione Maria Letizia Verga Does?
For over 45 years, the Foundation has worked with an integrated model that combines medical care, scientific research, family support, and quality of life for pediatric patients.
Among its main initiatives:
• The Maria Letizia Verga Center – a leading facility offering care, inpatient and day hospital services, bone marrow transplants, and advanced research laboratories, fully integrated into the National Health System.
• Sport Therapy – a program that incorporates adapted physical activity into treatment plans, measuring the impact of personalized training on patients’ well-being.
• Educational, recreational, and psychological support activities – workshops in the hospital and programs in schools to accompany children and their families throughout treatment.
Why Run for Us?
• A tangible impact – Every step you take helps fund vital research, treatment, and family support projects.
• Awareness and visibility – Wearing the Foundation’s shirt means spreading a message that goes beyond the race, engaging everyone who cheers you on.
• A goal beyond the finish line – Every kilometer run is an act of closeness to those fighting every day.
• A community running together – Athletes, volunteers, and supporters united to share strength, values, and hope.
The Milano Marathon is more than a race — it’s a journey of energy, emotion, and solidarity.
This year don’t run just for yourself — run for them.
