The ‘Fondazione Bianca Ballabio’ springs from the commitment of devoted parents Michela and Massimo to perpetuate the memory of their much beloved, lovely only daughter Bianca.
Bianca was twenty years old in 2019/2020, enrolled in her first year of Medical studies. On 27 July 2020 she completed all her exams ahead of the end of the faculty year, after a long period of tireless and determined study, all during the global pandemic.
Bianca loved learning. Her overriding passion was for medicine and the welfare of others. With her own perseverance, personal commitment and determination to study and give, she loved her vocation.
Tragically, five days after her last university exam, Bianca was the innocent victim of an accident caused by a car driver. Transferred by helicopter, in a coma, to the San Gerardo Hospital of Monza, her battle for life lasted nine days. On 11 August 2020 Bianca died.
We, Bianca’s parents, Michela and Massimo, believe the first act Bianca would have wished for was that her organs be donated to help others. This was done.
Bianca was a straightforward, natural, open, happy young lady, always to be heard singing, with a bright smile for everybody. She loved her life.
Her premature death leaves a huge void, which calls for something she would be proud of: helping others through Medicine, her first love after family and friends.
It is with this shared passion that we, Bianca’s loving parents, created the ‘Fondazione Bianca Ballabio’: a medical charity holding dear the name of Bianca Ballabio and her memory, always.
Love is our resistance
