The fight against childhood leukemia has united Envera with its sports ambassador, Vicente del Bosque, and the engineering and consultancy firm of the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, Ineco, in a solidarity and sports initiative in favor of the José Carreras Foundation on the occasion of World Bone Marrow Donor Day.
Under the name 'Score a goal against leukemia', Ineco professionals, accompanied by children, participated in a day where, symbolically, for each goal, funds were donated to research into childhood lymphoblastic leukemia led by the José Carreras Foundation.
A family afternoon held at the Canal de Isabel II sports facilities in Madrid was joined by athletes with intellectual disabilities from Envera-Asociación de Empleados de Iberia Padres de Personas con Discapacidad, of which Del Bosque is a sports ambassador. The former coach of the Spanish men's national soccer team, with which he became European and world champion, has once again taken charge of a team, on this occasion in a spirit of solidarity and diversity.
For Enrique Grande, Envera's CEO, "we are proud to be able to support causes such as bone marrow donation or medical research for the cure of leukemia and to do so with an exceptional team of athletes and alongside our sports ambassador, Vicente del Bosque, who is not only a world reference in the field of sports, but also in the most important values of life".
For his part, the president of Ineco, Sergio Vázquez Torrón, wanted to highlight the enthusiasm with which the Ineco team always responds to all calls for solidarity and the need for public companies to be exemplary in terms of their social responsibility.
With this initiative, almost 200 people scored goals today to contribute to research into this disease that the José Carreras Foundation is developing in various fields. Specifically, with this campaign, Ineco has managed to raise 3,000 euros to further research into childhood lymphoblastic leukaemia. Frank Pérez, from the Foundation's Corporate Alliances department, emphasized that "this is the only way to ensure that one day this disease will be one hundred percent curable".
The 'Score a goal against leukemia' coincides with World Bone Marrow Donor Day, a date chosen to raise awareness of the importance of being a donor, a process that begins with a simple blood or saliva sample, and that can save many lives of the 5,000 patients diagnosed with this disease in Spain every year.
