Dear friends,

Believe it or not this heavy-weight is determined to finish his first next Sunday in ! I'm extremely excited about the race but more deeply about having the opportunity to raise money for an extremely powerful and dynamic NGO called Miracles (www.miraclesthecharity.org) run, amongst other talented individuals, through my friends Silvia and Rafa Gil-Alberdi. No matter how is your situation at the moment please don't forget that you are always in a position to help others and sometimes, as it’s the case now, it is just a click away!

I'll be thinking of you all during my tough time on the race but be sure that even racing a single mile is worth it if it helps to return a smile to those helpless kids

Many thanks for your contribution and see you all soon

Álvaro
