On May 14, 2026, from the Meyer Health Campus in Florence, with a stop at the nearby Casa Marta, the 5th edition of the Giro d’Italia delle Cure Palliative Pediatriche 2026 (GCPP) officially began.
The initiative, promoted by the Fondazione Maruzza Lefebvre D’Ovidio ETS, focused on the theme of the “Caring Community.”

The 4th edition of the Giro d’Italia for Pediatric Palliative Care stops in Florence on May 28 with the Conference “Palliative Care Tells Its Story” organized by the Casa Marta Foundation in collaboration with the AOU Meyer.

This year, for the first time as Fondazione Casa Marta, we participated in the 3×7 Km charity run, an event that takes place within the traditional Florence Marathon. A non-competitive race that combines sport and solidarity.

Together we can do more: share and access new resources and knowledge, participate in high-level training and information events with the aim of ensuring that the right to support is increasingly accessible to children suffering from serious illnesses and their families.

The protection of dignity represents the founding core of modern Palliative Care and alongside it complexity, a term that increasingly characterizes our present in many fields.

Fondazione Casa Marta, on the occasion of the national event “Giro d’Italia CPP 2023”, enthusiastically accepted the call to participate and promote knowledge of pediatric palliative care by organizing three events in the Florentine area, sponsored by Fondazione Il Cuore si scioglie, with the patronage of the Municipality of Florence, the Tuscany Region and shared with many associations linked to dance and sport.

The new solidarity campaign in favor of Casa Marta brings charity to the table: an initiative that is good for everyone, where even a small contribution is important to carry out a social responsibility project for Tuscany.
