Hi, this past weekend was the Victorious. Sporting event for which our friend Victor Cerda, traveled 300 km, following the GR7 footpath in the stretch that runs through the province of Valencia, in just 3 days.
GR -7 Andilla passing through ...
Run 100 km per day for 3 consecutive days as a runner I did not come to conceive. One must be very strong mentally and physically, to keep a train very accurate, a very strict diet and a decent team behind the best athletes. Only if all these factors come together, can be accomplished this feat.
There is no history of anyone who has done this route at this time.
But Victor did for one purpose, to fight Rett Syndrome, and do not just drawing attention through the media with such great prowess, but also information campaigns wherever they went, and also raising funds to help modestly fund the research project against S. Rett in this country.
I would like to tell every single detail of this test, it is full of gestures of human greatness, which in the days we live we are seeing less.

As an example I will tell you that our friend Raul Zurriaga, Victor decided to accompany the Victorious, a person with a long history of ultra-racing background and experienced in counseling and management Gps.Llevó Victor to his people, Fenced, and there we were told that their task was over, that entry was proper Bocairent Victor and me, now it was my turn to take it to the goal, and we can not convince you otherwise .... Raul, the word does not cover large enough, we have taught in all respects, simply thank you for being so ...
reaching Bocairent with colleagues who were waiting to join The Victorious ...
We continue towards Bocairent, a people who not only opened our doors, if not their homes. As we approached, they were more and more people joining, the last 15 km. accompanied the runners we came to meet us, cyclists, motorcyclists, more people walk ... when we reached the village, children were waiting for, with banners in honor of Mary, were joining our march, so more and more people. Walking the streets of Bocairent felt human greatness, support, applause, shouts of Victor, Victor, did not do more than move us deeply, Mary accompanied us during this last part, and .... well .... I never thought that life could give away a moment I so, so great, so unforgettable, and I owe all that in one way or another have made it possible for us to fulfill a dream, the dream of Victor and all us ....

The victory could not have been possible without the generous collaboration of many individuals, businesses, municipalities, municipal corporations, groups, but especially for something that can not be paid with money .... the will ... it will help us defeat this disease ..... I am more convinced every day .... we will get together ....
The bigger, the support of children Bocairent .....
