I ran my first Marathon in New York in 2017 for my uncle Javier. He passed away a few weeks later from cancer. He was - and still is - one of my greatest sources of inspiration. I remember him every time I run.
I promised myself I would run the 6 biggest Marathons for him, and fundraise in each of them for a charity.
New York in 2017
Chicago in 2018
Berlin in 2019
London in 2021
This year I’ll be running the Tokyo Marathon on March 5th. My fifth and second to last Major.
This year I am determined to push harder than ever, in training and in fundraising. I will try to break my personal best from 2021 and also double our last fundraising to reach 15,000Eur.
The funds will be used to support two causes close to my heart and that of my family:
- Cancer: In two ways. First, by supporting people fighting it via MacMillan (https://www.macmillan.org.uk/). And secondly, by funding cancer research programs via Cris Cancer (https://criscancer.org/) or RoberContraElCancer
- Children: Wether disabilities or education, we would love to help children in need and their families. We will do it via Fundación Cerro Verde (https://www.fundacioncerroverde.org/) that supports children in Honduras.
Any contribution you would like to make, large or small, will go a long way to support these causes!
Run4Oti!
