Annalisa Sanna returned yesterday morning to the civil hospital of Sassari to deliver Christmas gifts to the patients of the oncology day hospital .

Last year was the first arrival on the mare Macrusa for the 42-year-old who, in 2017, discovered she had a tumor and benefited from the treatment of the Aou facility. "I'm coming back - he said then - for a sense of revenge towards life".

Yesterday the arrival, accompanied by "Santa Claus" and the "Elves", people who belong to "Il Monello" of Sant'Orsola, the riding school where Annalisa met Macrusa from whom she is inseparable and who was fundamental in dealing with the illness. «Now - he declares - I have to face a new challenge. The desire to live makes me move forward together with what surrounds me because life is beautiful regardless of the disease ."

A pathology whose numbers are increasing as the director of the Day hospital Antonio Pazzola attests: «Last year - reports the professor - we reached 18 thousand active operations ».

However, this data also testifies to the effectiveness of the treatments and the lengthening of life expectancy. Meanwhile, Annalisa caresses the 18-year-old mare: "She's more than a relative to me, she's my family." And he refers to next year's meeting where he plans to be present: "I really hope so."
