Why did Acute Myeloid Leukemia have, in Francesca’s case, such a rapid and aggressive way of manifesting itself that it snatched her from life in very few days from the first onset of symptoms?

This is the precise question of NAnA’s research activities.

When NAnA was created Francesca’s family felt the need to immediately do something for other young teenagers and so in 2016 with Frontiers Music the idea of NAnA Music scholarships was born. Where to do it was a simple decision, the music school Francesca attended with such pleasure, the Sonus Factory in Rome, was chosen.

Scholarships are for: guitar – bass – drums – vocals – piano or keyboards. On Youtube the experiences of previous years.

NAnA also organizes a number of initiatives to stimulate scientific research, raise awareness of rare diseases and raise funds.

The initiatives that NAnA pursues are:

• RealEyes: uniting creativity and solidarity using donated works to raise funds for “Francesca’s Cells”
• NAnA’s Ship: an event aimed at remembering Francesca Martini on the anniversary of her passing
• A shirt for Francesca: funding a three-year PhD position in “Immunology, Molecular Medicine and Applied Biotechnology”
