SafetyDrugs team members during Pigiama Run 2024 in Biella
Every year, thousands of children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer. September is dedicated to raising awareness, and Pigiama Run 2025 is a unique opportunity to bring together research, solidarity, and community. In this article, we explain why this event is so important and how SafetyDrugs is actively taking part in Biella.
Pediatric cancer: a challenge that concerns us all
Pediatric cancers are among the most delicate challenges in modern medicine. They affect the youngest patients, often school-age children, and have a profound impact on their families. According to data collected by AIRTUM – the Italian Association of Cancer Registries, every year in Italy an estimated 1,400 new cases are diagnosed in children (ages 0–14) and about 800 in adolescents (ages 15–19).
Behind these figures lie stories of courage, hospitals, and long and demanding therapies. Although scientific progress has significantly improved survival rates, research must continue to develop more effective and less invasive treatments, so that children can fully live their childhood.
This is why it is essential for the scientific community, institutions, and society at large to work together: the fight against pediatric cancer is not only waged in laboratories, but also through awareness and concrete support.
September, a month dedicated to pediatric cancer
September is the international month dedicated to pediatric cancer awareness. A period designed to increase public knowledge of these diseases, support families, and raise funds for research.
Solidarity initiatives play a central role: they remind us that illness does not affect only those who experience it firsthand, but the entire community. They offer everyone the chance to contribute, in their own way, to the fight against childhood cancer.
Pigiama Run 2025: running in pajamas for awareness
It is in this context that Pigiama Run 2025, organized by LILT – the Italian League for the Fight Against Cancer, will take place on Friday, September 26th at 7:00 PM, in over 30 Italian cities.
The heart of the event is its symbol: running or walking in pajamas, the clothing that accompanies young cancer patients through long days of treatment. Wearing pajamas during the run means transforming an everyday garment into an act of closeness and awareness, a way of saying: you are not alone.
From running to concrete results: the birth of Alveare Amico
The run is not only a moment of awareness: it is also a fundraising tool that supports concrete projects improving the lives of pediatric cancer patients.
The 2024 edition of Pigiama Run Biella, organized by the Biella Provincial Committee of LILT, is a clear example: the extraordinary turnout raised enough funds to create Alveare Amico, a dedicated space within Spazio LILT for children with cancer and their families.
Alveare Amico is more than just a place: it is a welcoming refuge where young patients can find normality, play, psychological support, and dedicated activities. It demonstrates how every run, every registration, and every pajama worn can be transformed into real help that makes a difference in the daily lives of those facing a difficult journey.
Pigiama Run and SafetyDrugs: a commitment that continues
Biella is also the home of SafetyDrugs, the pharmacovigilance database developed by Max Application. For three years now, we have supported the event as a sponsor and joined hundreds of citizens in running to help raise funds for families of children with cancer.
For SafetyDrugs, renewing its support for Pigiama Run 2025 means continuing a commitment that produces tangible results and strengthens our closeness to patients and their families. This is why we invite everyone to join this important initiative of social value.
