'Today we change tomorrow' is the message of the new Airc Foundation campaign that offers research chocolates. With a donation of 10 euros, researchers can be supported in identifying the most effective treatments for the near future. On Saturday 12 November 1.800 are back Italian squares the 'research chocolates', distributed by Airc volunteers (Italian Association for Cancer Research) for a donation of 10 euros.

They are ten days to inform and raise awareness of the fight against cancer involving TV, radio, football stadiums and high schools.
Research chocolates
'Today we change tomorrow' is the slogan of the campaign to underline the centrality of science and the need to support researchers in identifying the most effective treatments of tomorrow. Together with the chocolates, a Guide is offered, an in-depth study on treatments for certain types of cancer. There are also four themed recipes to make healthy desserts without sacrificing taste, signed by Damiano Carrara, Michela Coppa, Chiara Maci and Benedetta Parodi. At the same time, the employees of Banco Bpm, Airc's institutional partner, will continue with distribution in 1.400 branches throughout the country. It will be possible to order the chocolates online, on Amazon.it, to receive them directly at home or to make many sweet surprises from a distance.
Today we change tomorrow
Cancer remains an emergency - points out Airc - research cannot afford to slow down. In Italy, about 377 thousand new cases of cancer were diagnosed last year, more than a thousand a day. In addition, 181.330 deaths from cancer have been estimated. Airc supports the work of about 5 thousand researchers with an investment, in 2022 alone, of over 136 million euros. And also thanks to this commitment, and to the generosity and donations of supporters, our country remains at the top in Europe for the number of healings. Today 3,6 million citizens have passed a cancer diagnosis, an increase of 36% compared to just ten years ago. And in many cases, patients have returned to having a life expectancy comparable to that of those who have never been ill.
