The Italian downhill skier Mattia Casse is promoting the charitable project Six Hundred Beats for NICU, an initiative born thanks to the commitment of Perform Sport Medical Center and Pedalare per la Vita, aimed at supporting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo, with the goal of raising funds to purchase a thermal crib to donate to the Association for Newborn Assistance.

"This initiative is a concrete opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children and their families. Even the smallest contribution can become a fundamental resource to guarantee cutting-edge care and increasingly better assistance," says Mattia Casse.

In June, Mattia will participate in the cycling event 24 Hours of Feltre, captaining a team of sports friends composed of professional skiers and cyclists, united by the common goal of raising funds for this cause.

SUPPORT FROM LOCAL EXCELLENCE

Various local entities have decided to support Mattia Casse in this project, enthusiastically contributing to the charitable project Six Hundred Beats for NICU.

SANTINI CYCLING: Innovation at the Service of Solidarity

Santini Cycling, a reference company in technical cycling apparel with deep roots in Bergamo, has chosen to support Mattia Casse's project.

"With Mattia, we found a common energy from the first meeting," declares Paola Santini, Marketing Manager of Santini Cycling. "We are proud to stand beside him in this adventure, certain that the combination of bike and ski can inspire positive and inclusive values."

For sixty years, Santini Cycling has distinguished itself through passion, innovation, and craftsmanship, confirming its commitment not only to athletes but also to the community.

ZEROSBATTI: Safety and Solidarity at the Center

ZEROSBATTI is proud to support the charitable project "600 Beats for NICU", led by Italian alpine ski champion Mattia Casse. Since 2017, the non-profit association has been supporting cyclists, providing them with immediate assistance and legal protection in case of an accident, and promoting road safety and the rights of vulnerable road users, cyclists, and motorcyclists.

"From the passion for sports and skiing, an immediate strong connection was born with Mattia, and when he presented his charitable project, created to support the Neonatal Ward of Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo, we immediately embraced the initiative and joined the team. We are certain that this collaboration is just the beginning of a path where bikes and ski meet, combining two great passions with noble objectives," stated Avv. Federico Balconi, founder of ZEROSBATTI.

The partnership between ZEROSBATTI and "600 Beats for NICU" is not only an important contribution to a charitable cause but also an opportunity to spread values of solidarity, safety, and protection, remembering the importance of having the right support, always.
