If one dreams alone it remains just a dream, but if many dream together it is the beginning of a new reality. With this philosophy, from 2011 to 2025 the Marina Romoli Onlus has raised over 550,000 euros for scientific research into a cure for spinal cord injury and supported many young athletes who ended up in a wheelchair. From this year onwards, it continues to pursue its mission in a different form but with renewed strength.

The reform of the third sector causes old non-profits to "disappear" by forcing them to evolve into ETS with higher administrative and accounting burdens, so the members of MRO decided to continue their activities by converging into the RI.I.M. Rimetteteci In Moto association, with which they have always collaborated and co-financed most of the research projects supported so far.

«The objectives of Marina Romoli Onlus and the commitment of its supporters do not stop, quite the opposite. With MRO vice-president Loredana Longo, Giulia De Maio, Marisa Nuciari and Paolo Romoli, we decided to avoid creating two new entities with identical purposes but to optimize resources and the commitment of volunteers by converging into a reality we trust and with which a relationship of mutual collaboration has been established for many years. From two entities formally there will remain one, but our support for research and people with spinal cord injuries will continue as always» assures Marina Romoli, a cyclist and vice world champion who in 2010 saw her path take a sharp turn due to a car that hit her while she was riding her bicycle.

In its history, Marina Romoli Onlus has allocated 400,000 euros to 9 international research projects and 100,000 to young people in need. Having received the favorable opinion of the competent authorities, the first pedal stroke of this new phase will consist of allocating to Riim ETS over 160,000 euros to continue dreaming together of a definitive cure for paralysis. «The invitation for all our supporters who regularly allocated their 5x1000 to MRO is to continue doing so by entering the tax code 93397100723 of Riim ETS in their tax return - is Marina Romoli's appeal. - On the website www.marinaromoli.com (which is currently being updated) we will publish the progress of our activities in support of research that we ask you to continue supporting. Together, we can do it. Together, we can do it!».
