Guest of the Sunday lounge of Mara Venier was Margherita Toffamother of the unforgettable Hyena, Nadia Toffawho passed away five years ago. In the studio of Sunday Inthe woman talks about the book she wrote, “Don’t waste time crying”remembering his daughter and everything she wanted to accomplish.
The non-profit organization founded by Nadia Toffa
Three years have passed since the last time the Rai1 presenter and Margherita Toffa met, during which several projects were carried out that the journalist hoped to be able to implement, as her mother says:
In these three years I have done everything Nadia Toffa asked of me: I founded a foundation on all types of cancer. He asked me to think about the last and those who have no voice, so my husband and I are traveling across Italy to raise funds for research. This thing gives us a lot of strength, it has reassured us, we have become old, but as long as we are we will do everything possible to achieve what Nadia wanted
The pain of Margherita Toffa
On the other hand, Nadia Toffa’s has always been a real vocation, her curiosity has always led her to ask herself questions and ask others. Since she was a child she has always been able to radiate light around her: “Lactating Lilli Gruber, she already wanted to be a journalist. I adored her, she was my little girl. She was pampered by everyone. It was in her blood, she was very self-assured, she was a pepper. Always cheerful and sunny.” The pain of the disappearance is strong, sometimes unbearable, and it is in those moments that Margherita, to miss her daughter less, carries out a real ritual:
When I feel bad, I take Nadia’s photo, sit in the chair she gave me and talk to her. I put his clothes on, even his shoes. Anything that suits me, even if it’s strange, if it’s very long, I wear them, so I feel it close, I feel it hugging me. I have never dreamed of her, but in the night I wake up with the certainty that she is next to me and hugs me
When Nadia Toffa discovered the tumor
Her passion for her work has always prevailed over everything, especially over a boyfriend who was particularly jealous of her dedication to investigations, into which she threw herself headlong. And it was precisely while she was working that Nadia Toffa’s life changed forever, as her mother recalls:
That morning he was in Trieste for a service, in the morning he goes down to the hall, goes back to the girl in the reception because he didn’t remember that he had just paid and then… he faints. She never had a headache, I hoped until the end that it was low blood pressure, but that wasn’t the case. They sedated her to take her by helicopter to San Raffaele in Milan. After the CT scan, the total body scan, the diagnosis: stage four tumor, neuroblastoma. The head doctor told us that the cancer was terrible, as long as that mass remains in place, I can operate on it
