ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The research is also supported by walking: Sunday, Fitwalking for Ail 2026, the non-competitive solidarity walk created to celebrate the World Day of Chronic Mieloid Leukemia and organized to raise funds to support the projects of the Association for Research and Assistance to patients with blood tumors and their family members.
“Today physical activity is a fundamental component of therapy – said Giuseppe Toro, national president of Ail – sensitizing to physical activity means reducing tumors, the global organization of health tells us that physical activity would reduce the number of cancers by 30%. This solidarity walk wants, in fact, to raise public awareness, and also institutions in the importance of physical activity. The fitwalking is a discipline of athletics, a solidarity walk to support the fight against tumors and promote the right lifestyle.”.
For the tenth edition you will return to walk, from north to south, in 40 Italian cities. It will be a great party in which everyone will also be able to witness solidarity by posting on Ail’s social channels a photo or video with the hashtag #versonuovitraguardi.
“Dieci edizioni represent an important milestone for an initiative that manages to unite solidarity, well-being and participation – we read in the message of the ministra per le Disabili, Alessandra Locatelli -. Encourage people with onco-ematological pathologies to maintain, when possible, an active life also means helping them find relationships and trust during a particularly delicate moment of their lives.”.
The fitwalking is a form of practicing the path that highlights all the potential. The English word literally means “walking for fitness”; it is the common denominator for all motor-sporting activities, for leisure and relaxation, for fun, for fitness, for health and wellness.
Good reasons to practice fitwalking. For Rossana Ciuffetti, Sport Impact Director of Sport and Health, “every euro invested in sports and physical activity generates direct benefits for the population that includes children, adults and over 65, on the health costs level. This strengthens the idea that promoting sport and physical activity is not only a prevention policy, for the benefit of physical well-being, but a real strategic lever to reduce economic pressure on the public health system, while improving the quality of life of the population throughout the national territory.”.
