With its Charity Program, Kappa FuturFestival supports the Help Olly Onlus Association to finance scientific and genetic research for rare diseases.

The resources are used for the project that studies Olivia’s fibroblasts through optical and electron microscopy with the goal to identify a biomarker for her condition, known as Infantile Onset Ascending Spastic Paraparesis.

All the information collected through this study will be published and made available to the scientific community, thus contributing to the overall advancement of knowledge and research on rare diseases.
