A gardenia and a hydrangea, two flowers in harmony, symbols of a deep bond between women and multiple sclerosis. MS, a disease that affects women twice as often as men, enters life between the ages of 20 and 30, a period of great plans and dreams. Because of this
Aism with “Welcome back Gardensia” brings her two flowers to Italian squares for International Women’s Day: Friday 8th, Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th March, 14 thousand volunteers in around 5 thousand squares celebrate the value of Gardensia and the fight against multiple sclerosis. An invitation to donate and spread hope for a future beyond the disease, which involves not only those affected by it, but the entire family. It is already possible to book your gardenia and hydrangea plants, for a minimum donation of 15 euros each, by contacting the Provincial Section of your city whose list can be consulted on
Also a solidarity number to donate: il 45512 allows you to raise other funds for research and, specifically, for the project “Promopro-ms digital edition” promoted by Fism, the Aism foundation to evaluate the progression of the disease and predict its progress.
Promoted by Aism, the event, which takes place under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic, invites everyone to participate by choosing a plant of
gardenia, hydrangea or both. A gesture that goes beyond the beauty of flowers, supporting scientific research, the only weapon today to defeat multiple sclerosis and related pathologies.
