Marina Romoli Onlus Association wants to be fully transparent on how money are spent as we have the highest respect for people who support us. The association has the goal to support medical research to find a cure for chronic spinal cord injury and to provide financial support to Italian athletes that become disabled practicing sport activities, in particular to the ones who become paralyzed due to spinal cord injury. Here below you can find informations about how we have allocated the money we have raised so far.
