About Us
“The Parade of Hope is a dream born in the corridors of hospitals, between two sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It wants to extend and strengthen the tenuous thread linking the fight against evil and the will to survive. The Parade of Hope also wants to be a moment of eternity, a moment of hope, a dreamlike parenthesis, a fragment of happiness and pure innocence offered to all those women who see their body, their femininity, their self-esteem and their destiny disappear at the pronouncement of a diagnosis. The Parade of Hope was born from a desire for joy, transparent, simple, true.
The Parade of Hope is here to pay tribute to all those who believed in it and who have unfortunately left us; it is here to tell those who are struggling today that each day that passes brings us a little closer to a cure, that hope is more alive than ever, that we just have to believe.”
