Diagnosed with a mitochondrial disease, Alessia’s journey has been one of triumph and inclusion, as she and her mom Sonia were treated with genuine respect and admiration throughout the event, even meeting FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who sat with them in the VIP lounge and shared a personal connection through his own daughter’s name. This experience has been more than a dream come true—it’s proof that true inclusion isn’t just possible, it’s powerful. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
