On September 26 thousands of people will take to the street in the pajamas for a solidarity race. The goal: to help the 2,200 children who face the tumor every year.
At sunset of September 26, in 33 Italian cities, thousands of people will wear the pajamas to run or walk. It is not a bizarre sports fashion, but the sixth edition of the Run Pygiama, the event that combines sports and solidarity to help children sick and their families.
From Milan to Italy. The initiative, born in 2019 in Milan, turned into a national appointment during the month of the “Gold Ribbon”, dedicated to pediatric tumors. The idea is as simple as effective: wearing a pajamas for one evening to feel close to those who are forced to wear it every day in a hospital bed.
From north to south, the cities involved range from Aosta to Palermo, from Genoa to Bari. Each location will organize meeting points with music, animation and refreshment, creating an atmosphere of celebration that does not forget the charity.
Two methods of participation. The Run pajamas offers maximum flexibility: you can participate in presence, reaching one of the 33 meeting points, or in “Anywhere” mode, running or walking independently from any place of Italy and sharing the experience on social media.
The numbers that matter. In Italy, pediatric tumors hit 2,200 children and teenagers every year. The proceeds from the registrations to the Run pajamas will serve to support concrete projects of help and welcome for these small patients and their families, through the national network of Lilt (Italian League for the fight against cancer).
