NEMO Clinical Centre and “Udinese for Life”: a winning team

On Wednesday, 24th November – “Friuli” Stadium’s press room, 11.30am – presentation of the book “Valerio Bertotto – The Captain”

Less than 48 hours to go, to the long-awaited presentation of the book “Valerio Bertotto – The Captain”, in which the historical “Zebrette” captain traces all his career and his personal history in Udinese. The story, 144 pages long, enhance (“enhances”? Udinese’s former number 4 (“4’s”?) human side as well as his sports one. Hence, the decision to reserve a part of the money raised with the sale to “Udinese for Life”.
Udinese’s non-profit organisation, which has been committed with fund-raisings and initiatives in support of socially relevant issues all along, seizes the day to strengthen its friendship with NEMO Clinical Centre of Niguarda Cà Granda Hospital in Milan. One year ago the organization, strongly wished for (??) by Ms. Giuliana Linda Pozzo, has passed over Friuli’s borders for the first time for a donation in favour of the Centre known thanks to Massimo Mauro and Gianluca Vialli.
NEMO Clinical Centre, managed by Serena Foundation, assists all people suffering from severe and invalidating diseases such as muscular dystrophies (“dystrophy”?), muscular spinal atrophies, sensitive-motor hereditary neuropathies and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), moreover it promotes clinical researches and supports therapeutic activities. In the vanguard (??, a literal translation of “all’avanguardia”!) both from a clinical and technological point of view, it is a benchmark for those people who are suffering from neuromuscular diseases and it has, as a main goal, to improve their life quality (“their quality of life”?).
It is therefore a scientific centre of excellence, which can provide people very high quality standards. The choice to support NEMO Centre has been taken with care, as to better distribute its effects. The path started in Friuli and in Friuli it comes again (???). In 2009, 83thousand Euro have been given (“83,000 Euros were given”?) for the renovation of a whole pediatric (“paediatric”?) pavilion and for the purchase of new machinery, whereas the next donation will be used for the renovation of the new areas of NEMO Centre, where there will be the age of development area, the rehabilitative area and the lung sector (run-on sentence…). The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 24th November, at 11.30am, at “Friuli” Stadium’s press room. The meeting will be open to the public and will be hosted by SKY’s journalist Giorgia Bortolossi. Among the guests, there are also the former (“There will also be among the guests”…?) Udinese’s captain Valerio Bertotto, “Udinese for Life” patroness (??) Ms. Giuliana Linda Pozzo, the author of the book Tommaso Refini and the President of (“the”?) Serena Foundation-non-profit organization NEMO Clinical Centre Mr. Alberto Fontana who is to honor Udinese’s non-profit organization with his presence and make the relationship that fights against terrible diseases even closer, as well as make a welcome (“welcomed”?) surprise.
