Carlo Calcagni does not forget those who have to struggle like him

One record after another for Carlo Calcagni, who, however, has to fight a very hard battle every day to try to be as well as possible and who does not forget those who, like him, face similar problems on a daily basis.

“To those who, like me, fight a silent battle every day, to those who face therapy as a challenge, I want to say this – tells the Colonel of the Role of Honor of the Italian Army -. When I am there, attached to tubes, with needles stuck in my veins, with blood flowing out of my body and then back in… it is not only the physical that is tried. I feel time slowing to a near standstill. I feel the tingling blocking my arm, my legs claiming the freedom of a step, even one. I feel the machine pulsing beside me, cold, precise, inexorable. I feel the weight of fate on my shoulders, the emptiness that sometimes hurts more than the disease itself…”.

“But in all this I also feel courage – he continues -Yes, I feel it growing inside me. With every breath. To every thought that decides to veer toward the light. To the beautiful things. To those I love. To the colors of life, making space even among the gray of a hospital room. And in that moment, I am not alone.”

“There are those who think of me, there are those who are inspired by my story… and I, then, think of all of you – he adds in his touching message -. I think of those who are struggling, those who are afraid, those who feel tired, those who believe they can no longer make it. I feel you. I carry you with me. I am with you. Know that even if you do not see me, I am there, next to anyone who needs strength. I embrace you tightly in my soul. Never give up, despite everything and everyone, whatever it takes. Always go forward, together. With heart, with courage … with life!”
