Telethon raises funds to help combat rare genetic disorders. In Switzerland 50 % of the funds raised are distributed for research while the remaining 50 % are dedicated to active support of patients and families. For several years Telethon has funded the research of Maurizio Molinari. This year Fabio Grassi, Giorgio Noseda and Tom Brooks participated in the fund-raising effort appearing on TSI and Teleticino to underline the fact that donations from Ticino also support important research in Ticino. Fabio Grassi has submitted a request for funding to Telethon for a promising research project aimed at understanding a devastating genetic disorder called Omenn syndrom.
