Several organizations such as El Corte Inglés, the newspaper Superdeporte, the digital newspaper VLC News, the sportswear brand Joma, Pangeanic and sport associations like Curva Nord from Valencia C.F. etc., have selflessly helped and sponsored the event. Local artists, musicians and sports personalities attended the event that took place at Sala de Ámbito Cultural of El Corte Inglés Avenida de Francia (Valencia), from motorbike racing stars such as Héctor Faubel to singers and footballers from the city’s teams, Valencia CF and Levante UD. Sports personalities from the English Premiership like Juan Mata (Manchester United), Italian Serie A (Raúl Albiol) and Spain’s Primera División sent support messages.

Some patients suffering a rare desease may be fairly independent. Others, however, may require intensive physical assistance and equipment.
