A Historic Guinness World Record Strengthening Cultural Bonds and Creating Lasting Impact

At the Esharelife Foundation, we believe that extraordinary moments can, and should, be transformed into meaningful change. The Guinness World Record for the longest tiramisù, achieved in London on 25–26 April 2026, is one such moment.

While the 440.58-metre tiramisù captured global attention as a remarkable feat of culinary excellence, for us it represents something far more significant. It stands as a testament to the power of community, generosity, and shared purpose. Thanks to the vision of Mr Mirko Ricci and Complitaly TV, part of the proceeds from this extraordinary event will directly support Esharelife’s mission, bringing tangible help to those who need it most.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the Esharelife supporters, volunteers, and donors. Your commitment and belief in our work made this possible. Behind every milestone we achieve, there is a network of people who give their time, resources, and trust to our cause. This record is as much yours as it is anyone’s.

At Esharelife, education remains at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for children and young people, empowering them through access to quality education and the tools they need to build a better future. Initiatives like this allow us to expand that mission, supporting schools, funding educational programmes, and investing in long-term development where it is needed most.

At the same time, we recognise the urgent challenges closer to home. In the United Kingdom, we continue to support food banks and local communities facing hardship. The funds raised through this event will help us strengthen that commitment, ensuring that families in need have access to essential support during difficult times.

This is why the record-breaking tiramisù matters. It is not only about what was achieved, but about what it enables. It connects celebration with responsibility, and success with solidarity.

We are also grateful to the institutions, chefs, and organisations who contributed to making this event a success, and to the many individuals who helped amplify its message. Together, we demonstrated that collaboration across cultures and sectors can lead to outcomes that are both inspiring and impactful.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to turning moments of visibility into opportunities for action. With the continued support of our community, we will keep investing in education, supporting vulnerable families, and building a future where opportunity is shared more equally.

Because at Esharelife, every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps change a life.
