Io Dono is the friendly bike ride founded to spread the message of the importance of Organ Donation.

As we are aware that the transplant returns a person to a normal life, we welcome every year transplant recipients and donors of kidney, as well as nephropaths on dialysis waiting for transplantation.
The event has the patronage of the Archdiocese, the strong support of the Italian Society of Nephrology, of the National Association of Hemodialysis and of La Nuova Speranza foundation. Moreover, there is a strong collaboration of the municipalities involved, and a great team of volounteers, the ones who make all this possible.
In addition to raising awareness for organ donation, our attention is also focused on the patients affected by rare diseases and in particular by focal glomerulosclerosis, a rare form of nephropathy that often leads to dialysis.
Rare diseases deserve our full attention because the problem of diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties is often accompanied by the lack of moral and social support for families. 

We will talk about donation and rare diseases in all the little towns that will host us.
It will be our simple but authentic way of expressing closeness and support to many of our less fortunate friends.
