"Appreciate @ s @ s friend,
One dream most important in my life is to do everything possible, everything in my power to get leukemia and other hematologic malignancies are curable for all and in all cases.
In 1987, when I was in the prime of my life leukemia crossed my path. As for anyone, it was a hard blow and the first time was very difficult to accept. I, however, that if there was a chance to surpass one million, that was the mine. Regardless of medical treatment, I think it is very important for patients to try to have a positive attitude to the disease. In my case, I am convinced that this approach, an extraordinary medical equipment with the delivery and tireless support of my family were the key to my recovery.
Once the disease in 1988 started the project of the Foundation Against Leukemia that bears my name. I was in debt to society and science and thereby trying to return all these tokens of affection and all the support I received during my illness.
Obviously, the Foundation has contributed greatly to give meaning to my life as a human. Trying to help patients who have to live today in the difficult situation in which I was for years is a compromise. Each year I host a dozen charitable concerts, participate in meetings and decision making of the Foundation moved me to visit patients and give them encouragement as they see in me someone who managed to overcome this tough disease. It is by this that the Foundation is without doubt a high priority in my life.
What other priorities? They are like those of many others. My big dream was, and remains, my children, my grandchildren and other members of my family and obviously my profession. When you go through a situation so severe as to combat leukemia, priorities of life change and we value what is truly important in our lives. "
