00:00UNITING HEARTS AND MINDS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS, SLA.
00:10It is the intention of the Christmas Party, the final event of the Solidary Christmas of Aisla,
00:15which has brought together volunteers, supporters, people with SLA and their families
00:19around a common goal, solidarity.
00:22Last November 21, a Solidary campaign was launched in Rome with the direct streaming
00:27for research and during the Christmas Party an extraordinary goal was announced.
00:32The funds raised have reached the figure of 230,000 euros,
00:36a concrete result and an example of collective commitment.
00:39SLA is an incurable disease, the only hope we have and we entrust all our hopes to research.
00:47Therefore, everything that has been given to us will be dedicated to research,
00:51because it is not true that there is no cure, you just need to discover it.
00:55So I thank all those who have contributed to buy the chocolate,
01:00have contributed to donate and have donated.
01:03With this little gesture you can make a huge difference, because you will give us a future.
01:11For the president of SLA Food, the promise made during the awareness campaign,
01:16that of the donation, was finally kept.
01:19This happens at a particular moment like Christmas, but my hope is that it happens all year round,
01:28so that there is a strong donation throughout the year,
01:35to give us the opportunity to change the history of this disease.
01:42Becoming part of an enlarged family is the meaning of the Christmas Party
01:47for the director Retelli Galbusera Tre Maria Diego Ponasso.
01:51For our company it was a beautiful experience, because it makes us better as a company,
01:56to do an activity with SLA of this type, of this scope,
02:00but I have to tell you the truth, it also makes us better as people,
02:03because for the first time I really saw an involvement from people
02:09that I could never have imagined.
02:12Another goal of the evening, to launch a message of simplicity.
02:16Usually we sell the problems of others as something insurmountable,
02:20for us who have nothing.
02:22Instead, the message that must pass is that having attention to others
02:26means sometimes looking with a simple eye and doing the right thing for them,
02:30which is our mirror, our consequence in some respects.
02:34Being together also goes beyond the table,
02:36but because of the dysphagia that often affects the sick,
02:39sometimes it is difficult to reach everyone.
02:42Therefore, on our part, the important thing is to try to create dishes,
02:47to help, to give ideas,
02:49so that all people can sit at the table together
02:53and enjoy a moment of sharing as the table requires.
