The high-performance cycling shoe brand has launched a new Limited Edition in collaboration with Fundación Xana with the mission to support children and families in their daily battle for life. The shoe is a true work of art, co-designed with Edgar Plans, and was worn during the Milano – San Remo kicking off a charity auction and other major international cycling competitions.
‘We are proud to present this shoe to the world,’ commented Francesco Sergio, MD and Co-Founder of Nimbl . “Ever since we had the privilege of learning about the story of Fundación Xana and what it does for families facing difficult times, we felt personally touched. From this involvement came the thought of doing something that could tell these stories in our own way, running as is the character of Nimbl. Therefore, not only will our users be able to buy the Limited Edition and contribute to the foundation’s initiatives, but also the World Tour riders wearing the brand carried this important message in such an iconic race as the Milano – Sanremo”.
The Fundación Xana was established with precisely this mission, to provide comprehensive care and support to children and young people suffering from serious illnesses and their families. Its aim is to act as a pillar of support on several levels: emotional, physical, financial and practical. Assistance is provided through various intervention programmes, including housing support, financial and practical help, and assistance to various family members.
The organisation has its own programme and several projects. It also collaborates with other organisations, such as the Integrative Paediatric Oncology Unit (UOPI) of the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital – a pioneering unit in Spain – and the Pabellón de la Victoria, a project of the ‘Fundación Villavecchia’ to which Fundación Xana donates 15% of its annual funds.
