Telethon at Udine

Telethon race in Udine

Starting from friday 5 o' clock in the evening for 24 hours we had in Udine the annual Telethon race to collect money to be used for research in genetic diseases.


Speaking about the race .. people coming from different teams (firms, banks, schools ad so on ) run for an hour for 24 hours in the urban streets. Enrolment money is donated to telethon.

This event is part of the national telethon days that occours in this days too.

This is a worthy cause to treat diseases that otherwise will not have attention since they affect a restricted population in the world.



In the recent past different genetic diseases have been successfully treated saving life of many people.
