Time moves differently in Rome.

You walk among ruins that once held power, life, and the centre of the world — and now stand as quiet proof that everything… passes.
And in that moment, something shifts: we are passing too.

At , we are developing the Recovery Programme — a space for those facing terminal illness, where time is no longer about planning ahead, but about living what is here, now.

Recovery is not about fixing.
It is about:
– breath
– stillness
– dignity
– being human, not a diagnosis

It is about creating moments that still belong to you.

Standing between ancient walls that have outlived centuries, and a body that may be slowly letting go, you feel the contrast deeply.
But also the truth.

On my notebook, there is a simple line:
“Travel as much as you can. Life is not meant to be lived in one place.”

Today, it means something more.

Travel is not only about places.
It is about transitions. Endings. Returns to self.

Recovery is that kind of journey.
Not always easy.
But real.

We are also building this programme through connection —
seeking partners across the world who understand that recovery is not always about cure, but about experience, care, and dignity.

In Italy, we are currently working with several places that embody this approach —
and I will be sharing more about them in the next posts.

Because even when time is limited…
how you live it is still yours.

RECOVERY PARTNERS PROGRAMME – OFFICIAL EXPANSION 🤍

Give Five Give Life Foundation is proud to officially expand our Recovery Partners Programme — a wellbeing initiative created for individuals undergoing cancer treatment or recovering after treatment.

Following a successful pilot project with selected hotels, now featured across our social media platforms, we are developing this into a full international programme to help patients access trusted, safe and high-quality recovery options worldwide.

Our mission is simple:

To prove that people living with cancer can still travel safely, breathe, rest, and experience dignity, comfort and wellbeing — in carefully reviewed hotels and resorts.

Despite living with cancer herself, Marta Bicka —our Founder and Ambassador of the project — will continue travelling to selected destinations to review hotels and assess recovery-focused wellbeing standards.

We are currently working on expanding our partner agreements, including future benefits such as:
• preferred guest support
• wellbeing-focused services
• discount codes for recovery stays (subject to partner availability)

🤝 Hotels, resorts, spas and wellness partners are welcome to join

TruthMattersFollowing a short recovery break in Morocco, focused on wellness and supportive treatments, Marta has returned to her work with the Foundation.

The time away was used to stabilise health, regain strength, and reflect — while navigating ongoing medical challenges within the NHS.

She returns motivated to continue serving with expertise, lived experience, and advocacy — particularly for those facing complex diagnostic pathways.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support truly matters.❤️🙏🙏

The treatment is ongoing.
The fight is ongoing.
But so is life....

While continuing treatment for a terminal illness, Marta remains present — choosing to add life to her days, not just days to her life.
She is slowly reconnecting with the Foundation, sharing her voice, experience, and perspective shaped by illness, uncertainty, and resilience.
This is not about work.
It’s about purpose.
About staying connected.
About being here — for others — even while walking her own path.

Hello to all our supporters and those following Marta’s journey.♥️♥️

The time between Christmas and New Year is usually quieter — a moment to pause and reflect.

Unfortunately, not every New Year begins happily.

Marta has been admitted to hospital after developing an infection, and as a result, her next chemotherapy session has been postponed. She is currently safe and receiving appropriate medical care.

Thank you for all your prayers, messages, and continued support.

We keep fighting — for dignity, for strength, and for equal care.🙏🙏🙏

Christmas isn’t joyful for everyone.
And that’s okay.

For many people living with cancer, chronic illness, or grief —
this season is about survival, not celebration.
If today looks quiet, heavy, or unfinished — you’re not failing Christmas.
You’re doing something braver: you’re still here.

🤍 This space is for the real stories.
🤍 For staying, even when it hurts.

If this resonates, stay with us.
Like, share, or save — someone may need to see this today.

Still here. Still standing.

This video is not about strength for show.
It’s about showing up — even when it’s hard.

For years, Marta stood beside others when life placed them in impossible situations.
Today, she continues to stand — while facing her own.

If you believe that access to care, dignity and support should never depend on luck or location — you’re already part of this story.

🤍
Give Five. Give Life.

Hi everyone 🤍

We’re supporting our founder Marta in accessing better care, and we’re incredibly grateful for any support — even the smallest one makes a real difference.

If you’re able to help, €5 / $5 / £5 truly matters.
If not, a share means just as much.

Thank you for taking a moment to read and support 🙏
Give Five. Give Life.

“I deserve better. I deserve to live.”

12 days after my last chemo and this cycle has been the hardest so far.
The dryness, the bleeding, the dizziness, the weakness — they’ve all hit at once, reminding me how brutal this treatment can be.
But there is also something important I need to share:

The initial treatment is working.
The tumour is shrinking.
My body is responding.

This is proof that I am still here, still fighting, still capable of healing.

And because of that… I deserve more than just basic care.
I deserve better options, better treatment, better support —
a chance not only to survive… but to live.

Your help allows me to look beyond “just getting through chemo”
and reach for the care I truly need and deserve.
Better specialists.
Better treatment pathways.
Better chances.

Thank you for standing with me through the darkest days.
Your support is the reason I can keep going —
and the reason I can still believe in a future that is bigger than this illness.

One fight at a time. One breath at a time.

Everyone thinks they’re a good friend…
until life proves otherwise.

You see someone fighting, fading, disappearing between hospital visits and sleepless nights —
and you tell yourself,
“she’s strong… she’ll manage.”

Yes, she will.
Because she has no choice.
Because she’s alone in this.
Because she learned to fight in silence.

But don’t confuse silence with strength.

When she messages you like everything is normal —
it’s not because she’s fine.
It’s because she’s exhausted.
Because the weight is too much.
Because she has no one else.

And you —
you soothe your conscience with the idea that “she’ll be okay”…
while your eight minutes
could have saved her day, her hope,
sometimes even her life.

Eight minutes to ask: “How are you really?”
Eight minutes to say: “I’m here.”

So ask yourself:
Are you a friend when it’s real,
or only when it’s convenient?
