There are encounters already written in the
destiny. The ones between me and the Italian Parents Union, UGI (Unione
Genitori Italiani) against children tumor (www.ugi-torino.it), the
encounter occurred in the 1984, when I was still a young boy! A young boy father of 2 wonderful creatures, Oriana, 5 years old, and Paolo, 16 months
old.
Web sites where is possible to follow the Lorenzo and Aldo travel, of course other than on cuboviaggiatore.net:
My travel starts from there, the day when
at my son was diagnosed a serious sickness. Since that day my life is changed, another
world is opened in front of my eyes, a world totally unknown, a world full of
uncertainties, hopes and desire of life. My life was made of hospitals,
examinations, hospitalizing and fortunately of many people who helped me to
overcome that terrible moment, UGI helped me more than others.
Since that moment I felt the need, despite
my son sickness, to be engaged as voluntary in this Association. I remember we
were not many people, but I strove hard in any UGI activity,
from assistance to the wards and especially the families reception. For about
10 years long I have been involved in families reception, I lived terrible
moments, because you never get used to the suffering likewise I lived enjoyable moments which gave me the possibility to believe and go forward. I
met many parents, many children, with many of them I continued the dialog and right now
this dialog continues being part my of past as well as my future.
Since that moment many years are passed
by, and now I'm 57 years old, I was able to get retired (almost a miracle right
now!). In order to celebrate this event I have elaborated the idea of this
travel which will bring me in places around Italy.
I would like to transform my bike passion into an occasion to give something more to my life as well as to the
others. A trip which will bring me in the houses of the friends and families I
met during these years in the children's hospital. It is not a trip for
funding, but for give visibility to the UGI, a reality that achieved
important goals beneficial for the community along my 32 years of voluntary activity.
Aldo is my travel mate, he wanted to make
a solo trip instead. His target was to reach Roccagloriosa (in the Salerno province) his
native town, mainly to challenge himself, when we initially were speaking about
this trip it was just as a joke. He started pedalling in ripe age, riding for
kilometers, and right now with a strong willingness he is able to join who is pedaling since the childhood . We met each other thanks to a common friend in one of the many
rides around our valleys all together.
Where's the idea comes from?
Aldo is also retired so we have decided to merge our projects together and
after few months, among many words and many supporting friends this travel
project was born and shaped. The idea is to depart between May and June, and
now we are training to be on shape for that moment and to be well organized
taking care of any single detail. The enthusiasm is not missing right now!
The stages organization let us to arrive
where a family or a group will wait for our visit. Before departing we will be
in contact with cycling groups in any destination areas who will join us
between one stage and the next one, an alternative way to ride across Italy.
We will document our travel on the web as
well as media will be connected, step by step we will tell our travel. We will
be permanently connected with the magazine “Solobike.it” (www.solobike.it),
they already collaborate with UGI. Thank to the support of Fabrizio Gulmini we
will be connected with Telestudio8 (www.telestudio8.it) and of
course a dedicated page will be created on UGI Facebook site where our
adventure will be told and the advice and opinion of everybody will be kept in
to account. We will bring with us the brochures, but especially we will bring
our enthusiasm for this initiative: we would like to be a mix of a traveller, a
volunteer and a reporter
This brochure was
made in order to show our travel features as well as to gather technical
sponsor necessary for the tuning of the necessary equipment, trailers,
clothing, flag sand banner as well as a logistic support during the trip.
With your collaboration, we trust we will have
you all close to us during our travel.
