UDINESE FOR LIFE:10 YEARS HELPING THE OTHERS

The aims of Udinese per la Vita are to support, raise funds, contribute to create professionals in the medical field and to forward scientific research. Udinese per la Vita is a non-profit organization born on 9 May 1998 thanks to the commitment of Giuliana Linda Pozzo.
One of the first initiatives of Udinese per la Vita had been the institution of a grant in the name of Gino Linda, to train new doctors at transplant department of Policlinico Universitario in Udine under the guide of Professor Fabrizio Bresadola.

In recent years Udinese per la Vita has been particularly committed and has assigned large sums thanks to the Pozzo family, the players, the supporters and citizens as well for charity. Up to now the association has been able to assign nearly 700,000 Euros to buy up-to-date scientific equipment.

In 2004 Udinese per la Vita promoted an initiative in favor of Remo Molaro, a young disabled living in Udine. Thanks to Udinese supporters and to the help of Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, he underwent a delicate surgery at "Egas Moniz" hospital in Lisboa on 13 March 2004.
