Hey Everyone!
On November 30th, our guys were guests of honor at a fundraiser in Roseto degli Abruzzi. It was held at ristorante Il Parco dei Poeti in honor of a little girl named, Iaia, a fellow citizen with Gianluca of Abruzzo.
Iaia is a six year old little girl diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor that develops from nerve tissue. It usually occurs in infants and children.
Iaia’s family is doing everything they can do help her live a wonderful life as well as fighting to find a cure. Their hope is to bring her to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, where they are researching treatment based in immunotherapy.

As a nurse, I see my fair share of heartache, and sometimes, my job requires me to work from a strictly clinical perspective to allow me to be the support that is needed for my patient and their loved ones. But “pediatrics” and “cancer” are words that I can’t make fit into the same sentence–not ever. I have to full-heartedly support any effort and anyone that takes a stand to help fight it.
Fight, on, sweet, beautiful girl! I’m praying that the world brings you to New York!
Enjoy the pictures, videos and articles about the event.

I too am a nurse. One of the reasons I avoided working in pediatrics is because I couldn’t take seeing children die . I chose obstetrics to see life begin. I hope the little girl will be cured in New York, We have the best research teams in the world. Joanie G
I am so glad that the boys are choosing to support people and charities that have meaning.
Their presence alone will bring in extra donations. They are kind and give their time whenever asked. I pray they stay humble and kind all their lives.
I have to go on a short trip and will miss the Friday Voting. Hope we keep ahead till midnight Friday.
JUST WONDERING AND GUESSING: San Francisco and Dallas have Telemundo and I wonder if they will appear on these shows to promote their song and Ricardo Mortaner’s new CD. They all are in the Sony family now.
Oooh Gina, good guess! Safe trip.
What can we say about our Guys. Perfect. As usual.
Their faces alone will get that little sweetie here.
Blessings to you, Il Volo, for being such genuine human beings.
