Vittoria and former world champion MTB rider Dario Acquaroli have launched a fundraising campaign – ‘UNITI per Bergamo’. The campaign benefits the Padana Emergenza ONLUS Association to support mobile intensive care units in Bergamo, Italy, which have been struggling against the Covid-19 epidemic.
The champion Dario Acquaroli has decided to give away, to one lucky winner among all donors, an object very dear to him: the original bicycle that led him to the victory at the Cairns ’96 MTB World Championship.
Fundraising campaign – ‘UNITI per Bergamo’
Bergamo, the Italian city most affected by Coronavirus, is facing difficult weeks: the mobile intensive care units work night and day to help a very large number of infected people. All front-line responders are volunteers who enter the homes of the sick from Covid-19 to give first aid and transfer them safely to hospital facilities.
By making donations cycling fans can support these volunteer rescuers who are risking their lives daily to face the emergency.
Dario Acquaroli said “I want to give my contribution in this very difficult moment for my city of birth Bergamo. With Vittoria we have decided to organize a fundraiser where people can donate to support mobile intensive care units in Bergamo and participate at the raffle of my Bianchi Bicycle.
“The bicycle helped me to be the MTB World Champion in Cairns ’96. It has been one of the best moments of my life. Please, help the fund raise and share this initiative through your social media. Thank you so much.”
