The purpose is to promote the fund \u201cA door for Life\u201d in favour of young orphan boys and girls living in very difficult conditions.<br \/>\nPaolo Ferraris, 53-year-old entrepreneur and president of GEOforCHILDREN, Alessandro Ferraris, 50-year-old scientific representative and Arturo Giustina, 55-year-old entrepreneur in the fitness and wellness field, are all passionate about sport and travel and become now testimonials and exporters of solidarity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did motivate you to..<em>ride<\/em> this project?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00abA huge curiosity to see how much such a challenging sport adventure with a charity purpose can inspire and sensitise people\u00bb, Paolo Ferraris says. For Alessandro Ferraris, the challenge \u00abdoes not consist merely in repeating the great adventure and emotion experienced in 1994, when I rode my bike up to Paris on my own, but above all in contributing with my own effort to the project and GEOforCHILDREN\u00bb. A new motivation also for Arturo Giustina: \u00ab<strong>The project does not have a sport purpose, but an humanitarian one<\/strong>. I practiced a lot of sport during my life and always aimed to get good results; now I am very happy to do what I love to help people who are less fortunate than me\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2520 km by bike is a big distance: what does concern you most?<\/strong> \u00abUnforeseen events and physical problems\u00bb Ferraris brothers say. \u00abWe are concerned about everything that could stop us and prevent us to ride\u00bb. What worries Arturo Giustina the most are roads: \u00abWith more than 150 km to ride every day, every unforeseen event would slow us down and reduce recovery time\u00bb. To ride such a big distance you need to get ready both physically and mentally. Giustina did prepare a training schedule and a well-balanced diet program, Paolo Ferraris set the target of riding around 9-10000 km within the 29<sup>th<\/sup> of July.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your\u00a0message for Russian people?<\/strong> \u00abSocial pain needs concrete help and does not need political or religious barriers, borders or sanctions\u201d, Paolo Ferraris says. His word are echoed by Alessandro: \u00abEveryone of us can do something good for others, even for unknown people living more than 2500 km far\u00bb. Their message is universal: \u00ab<strong>Solidarity does not know borders<\/strong>\u201d, they say and, in fact, they want to spread the joy of gift. \u00abWe should not forget the purpose of the project: <strong>every donation will be used to help Russian children<\/strong>\u00bb, Paolo Ferraris points out. A little help because \u00abeveryone of us can help better the lives of people in need\u00bb, Giustina says. Alessandro Ferraris suggests: \u00abWhen we celebrate the birthday of a family member, let\u2019s make two gifts: one for the celebrated person and one for GEOforCHILDREN\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we report the translation from Italian of a short interview made to the three cyclists by EoIpso, our partner as press office we want to thank. &nbsp;
