Trees supporting the health of the Planet and cancer research with AIRC

Plant a tree, nurture research

Plant a tree, nurture research

The health of our environment and our health are closely linked. In Italy, the number of people overcoming cancer increased by 54% (10 years after cancer diagnosis between 2010 and 2020). With more than 4 million trees planted worldwide, Treedom has contributed to improving air quality and biodiversity. This is why we have chosen to collaborate with AIRC to do even more for the health of the planet and people.

The ‘Trees for Research’ initiative, which started in 2024, has made it possible to combine environmental protection with support for cancer research. For each tree sold (over 4000 in 2023!) Treedom allocated 50% of the price to the AIRC Foundation for Cancer Research. The proceeds were earmarked to co-finance a research project My First AIRC Grant, dedicated to researchers under 40 who want to try their hand at running their first laboratory in an Italian facility of excellence.

What next? The journey continues. In the coming months we will announce the name of the researcher or researcher under 40 who, thanks to your contribution with the Research Tree, will be able to start his or her own research laboratory in Italy. We will find out together which innovative project in the fight against cancer will come to life, once again uniting the health of people with that of the planet. Stay tuned: we will soon share this important news with our entire community.
