The event to support Telethon is organized by BNL BNP Paribas Group in collaboration with Rome Marathon and takes place on Sunday 16 December at the Baths of Caracalla.
The BNL partnership with Telethon is one of the most important fund raising projects in Europe: the bank has been supporting the Telethon Foundation for over 20 years, which since 1990 has been providing funding to finance the best scientific research projects on muscular dystrophy and other genetic diseases.
In 2017 more than 1,200 people, united in more than 150 teams, ran together passing the baton of research. Thanks to their enthusiasm and spirit of solidarity, over 100,000 euros have been collected.
