July 9 - Take the head - Marathon charity

Saturday, July 9, on the beach Fantini Club, "Capture Leads", charity marathon in support of those suffering from headache.

Ten kilometers of solidarity dedicated to those suffering from headache. Health for the health, the sport that helps us in the fight against migraine. A unique event, which will involve anyone who wants to participate at a competitive level and not at the charity event.

But not only. "The initiative", explains Prof. Piero Barbanti, AIC President and head of the Centre for the diagnosis and treatment of headaches and pain of the IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana , "also aims to raise public awareness, political bodies and institutions on the problem of headache in order for it to be recognized as a real social disease. "

"Although it is one of the most frequent diseases of the nervous system," says Barbanti, "across Europe headache in fact continues to be underestimated, undiagnosed and untreated, remain neglected in terms of funding and research. It is a problem not only social but also economic: it is estimated that at European level migraine involves a cost of 27 billion Euros a year. "
