No sooner had Fiorentina women's team announced their squad for the coming season then they were getting together with the men's team to promote 'Corri La Vita', a 4.6KM walk or 12.8KM run through the city of Florence held on 27th September to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. We hope that it will be the first of many opportunities for the male and female teams to get together and that they raise the maximum amount of money when they hold collections before the Genoa game on Saturday. Find out more about Corri La Vita at www.corrilavita.it/en - you can even sign up! There certainly could be worse places to go for a run...
