The 2026 Milan Marathon is not just a race: it is a special occasion to unite sport, solidarity, and team spirit, supporting a cause that can truly change the lives of many newborns and their families in Benin.
This year, for the first time, the Paolo Chiesi Foundation is taking part in the Charity Program of the Milan Marathon with many colleagues of the Chiesi Group who have decided to step up: some will run the individual marathon, while others will take turns in the Relay Marathon. However, all have chosen to become fundraisers as well, launching a personal fundraising campaign in support of the project “A Healthy Future for Newborns in Benin.”

These colleagues have chosen to dedicate their time, energy, and passion not only to running, but also to fundraising, involving friends, family, and the entire company community. Every kilometer run and every donation raised will make a tangible contribution to the project that the Foundation is carrying out in Benin to reduce neonatal mortality and improve care for the most vulnerable children.
