GARDENSIA 2026 IN THE PROVINCE OF SONDRIO: LET'S STOP MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WITH A FLOWER

A Weekend of Solidarity for Research on Multiple Sclerosis

The appointment with Gardensia 2026 returns to Valtellina and the province of Sondrio, the solidarity initiative promoted by AISM - Associazione Italiana Sclerosi Multipla, which this year celebrates its twentieth anniversary. On the days of Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March 2026, the main squares of the province of Sondrio will host the AISM volunteers' booths to raise funds for scientific research and support for people affected by multiple sclerosis.

The event takes place on the occasion of the International Women's Day and under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic, highlighting the strong link between this disease and the female universe: multiple sclerosis actually affects women at twice the rate of men.

Gardenias and Hydrangeas: Two Flowers to Make a Difference

AISM volunteers will be present in the main squares of the province of Sondrio offering gardenia and hydrangea plants. With a minimum donation of 15 euros, it will be possible to choose one of the two plants or purchase both, thus helping to support:

• The scientific research to find increasingly effective therapies and a definitive cure
• The support and assistance services for people with multiple sclerosis and their families
• The territorial activities for information and awareness

The solidarity number 45512 is also active. Donations can be made:

• 2 euros via SMS from a personal mobile phone (operators WIND TRE, TIM, VODAFONE, ILIAD, POSTEMOBILE, FASTWEB, COOPVOCE, TISCALI)
• 5 euros via landline call (TIM, VODAFONE, WIND TRE, FASTWEB, TISCALI, GENY)
• 5 or 10 euros via landline call CONVERGENZE, POSTEMOBILE
