LELE forever

LELE forever ODV is an Italian volunteer association founded in 2001 to remember Gabriele, known as Lele, who died of leukemia in 1999. Established by his parents and friends, the organisation brings people together through sport, entertainment and charitable events, reflecting Lele’s interests while supporting patients and families affected by the disease. Its fundraising has contributed more than €2 million to improvements in medical facilities, equipment and scholarships for young doctors.

The association supports the Adult Hematology Department at San Gerardo Hospital in Monza and the S. Verri Genetic Research Laboratory. It also provides accommodation for patients’ families who must stay in Monza, through Casa Lele e Lory, managed since 2012, and Casa Lele 2, added in 2019.

LELE forever ODV invites the public to take part in events, donate, become members and support fundraising initiatives. Its website also features a virtual shop and information about its projects, activities and lottery. The association’s goal is to offer practical support and hope while contributing to the fight against leukemia
