This Sunday morning, the Madrid town of Colmenar Viejo has hosted the Benemeritan Racea solidarity sporting event promoted by agents of the Guardia Civil in favor of Envera, a non-profit organization that serves 5,000 people with disabilities and their families every year and provides stable employment to more than 900.
In the organization of the event itself, led by Captain Rubén Fernández, athletes from Envera's Integral Disability Center in Colmenar Viejo took part, who encouraged the participants throughout the different tests they had to overcome along the route.
The presentation of medals and trophies was presided over by the mayor of Colmenar, Carlos Blázquez, and the head of the Civil Guard in Madrid, Colonel Diego Pérez de los Cobos.
Desde Envera han querido "reconocer el compromiso de la Guardia Civil y de estos deportistas con el bienestar de todos los ciudadanos para que las personas con discapacidad podamos ocupar con dignidad nuestro lugar en el mundo. Ha sido un día fantástico de convivencia, deporte e inclusión".
Also participating in the meeting were the general manager of Envera, Enrique Grande, and the councilors of Security and Sports of the Colmenar Viejo City Council, Jesús Fernández and Fabiola Cebrián, respectively.
