The funds raised in the walk will be used for research at IDIVAL
This Sunday, 7th April, the XIV Solidarity Race ‘Luchamos por la vida’ will take place in Los Corrales de Buelna, which has become one of the most popular sporting events in Cantabria.
This initiative allows funds raised to be donated to various cancer research projects at Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Valdecilla (IDIVAL).
The day – in which the entire municipality of Los Corrales is involved – will begin at 9am, with the collection of numbers at the Luis Andrés Samperio Sañudo sports complex.
The official start of the race will be at 12 noon, headed by the runners who will run 9 kilometres. This will be followed by the rest of the participants who will run the 5 kilometres in solidarity. In addition to the race, numerous sporting activities will take place throughout the day in Los Corrales, as well as tastings, inflatables, raffle prizes, etc., so that everyone can enjoy a day of solidarity with the family.

DOBLE OBJETIVO
El objetivo de esta marcha busca no sólo recaudar fondos para la investigación contra el cáncer si no promocionar aquellos comportamientos que pueden inducir a un estilo de vida que promueva la salud, como es la actividad física adecuada, alimentación equilibrada, no fumar… El movimiento ‘Luchamos por la vida’ lo creó Almudena Ruiz Pellón, con el objetivo de promover hábitos de vida saludables y aprender a afrontar el cáncer.
A raíz de su fallecimiento, un grupo de voluntarios, encabezados por Noelia -hermana de Almudena- crearon la asociación que ha permitido destinar fondos a diversos proyectos de investigación contra el cáncer desde el año 2013.

DOUBLE OBJECTIVE
The aim of this march is not only to raise funds for cancer research but also to promote those behaviours that can lead to a lifestyle that promotes health, such as adequate physical activity, a balanced diet, not smoking… The ‘Luchamos por la vida’ movement was created by Almudena Ruiz Pellón, with the aim of promoting healthy lifestyle habits and learning how to deal with cancer.
Following her death, a group of volunteers, led by Noelia – Almudena’s sister – created the association, which has allowed funds to be allocated to various cancer research projects since 2013.
