    Sirio's Game: Roma Cares and the Tetrabondi Foundation

    Against Genoa at the weekend the club were cheered on from pitchside by a very special fan.

    Thanks to ASR27 - the matchday robot that has enabled so many fans to get up close with the Giallorossi during the current pandemic - one of our youngest guests, Sirio Persichetti, was able to join his favourite team for the game at the Stadio Olimpico.

    Sirio, 7, has cerebral palsy and tetraparesis - but these conditions have not held him back. Through a blog, Tetrabondi, and various social media channels, Sirio and his parents have worked tirelessly to promote a different perception of disability, changing both the language used and the way the issue is approached.

    Through Tetrabondi's various platforms, content is published on a regular basis with the direct aim of promoting a more inclusive and understanding world. That puts the disabled back in charge of their existence, helping them pursue their desires and establish their own place in the world - and the happiness and self-determination that can come with that.

    The aim is not just to help Sirio, but all the children like him dealing with similar circumstances.

    To take the next step in these aims, Sirio's family have launched the Tetrabondi Foundation - with the aim of introducing various initiatives and projects to assist those with disabilities, attacking stereotypes and fighting conventions that often work to exclude so many young boys and goals.

    Roma Cares is proud to be supporting Tetrabondi, with a number of initiatives planned involving both fans and citizens.
