May 23 – “Every 20 seconds a child dies from causes that are preventable with a vaccine. Every 20 seconds an alarm should go off. I am convinced that with UNICEF we can reach and vaccinate every child. We’re waiting for you in the squares of Italy May 24-25.” With 290 goals scored for AS Roma, Francesco Totti has always refused to be only a football champion. The AS Roma captain, currently on tour in the U.S. with his teammates, is a UNICEF ambassador and in that role he uploaded a video message to support the campaign “100% Vacciniamoli Tutti.” The video was launched on the eve of the presentation of the campaign in more than 350 locations in Italy. “We thank Francesco for agreeing once again to team up with UNICEF and support this important initiative,” said the president of UNICEF Italy, Giacomo Guerrera, who adds: “All those who will join the initiative and donate €5 will receive a bell, symbol of our campaign.”
