And trust us, the first episode is going to hit you right in the feels.
Meet Robert: The Firefighter Who Never Gives Up
A true Maltese hero who spent his life-saving others as a fearless firefighter. Now, he’s facing a tough fight of his own – ALS. But even though life’s thrown him some heavy punches, Robert’s spirit hasn’t dimmed one bit. He’s currently living at DAR Bjorn Żebbuġ, a home for people with ALS and other neurological conditions, where he’s still the inspiring figure he’s always been.
In tonight’s episode, Maria sits down with Robert for an in-depth conversation that will give viewers a glimpse into his life, his passions and his remarkable journey. Robert opens up about his love for Charlie Chaplin, a figure who, despite being known for his comedic genius, brings tears to Robert’s eyes instead of laughter. This poignant reflection is just one of the many layers that make Robert’s story so compelling.
DAR Bjorn Żebbuġ, the residence where Robert now lives, is named after two remarkable individuals—Robert himself and Joe Debono. The home’s chapter is aptly called “Rob. & Joe” in their honor, a testament to the immense impact they have had on the community, especially through their tireless efforts during fundraising marathons.
As Marelli begins its new season, Robert has already set his sights on another challenge, the “Sal-Aħħar Nifs” marathon for DAR Bjorn, taking place on 22nd September. Robert, true to his indomitable spirit, will be participating in this event, demonstrating once again that his drive to help others knows no bounds.
Tonight’s episode of Marelli is more than just a TV show, it’s a tribute to a man who has given so much to his community and continues to do so, despite the odds.
Don’t miss this moving story of courage, laughter and unyielding strength.
