This is a tribute to cancer patients and their families who, during their illness, face one of the toughest trials of their lives.<\/p>\n
To do this, the LUCHAMOS POR LA VIDA Association, with the sponsorship of BATHCO, wanted to carry out\u00a0A challenge of overcoming and effort in recognition of the daily fight for life by cancer patients and their families.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This challenge will consist of participating in the TITAN DESERT 2014 race.<\/p>\n This test is an international benchmark as it is the competition of\u00a0Toughest mountain bike (MTB) in the world<\/strong>, a 6-stage mountain bike race in the Moroccan desert during the first week of May, with a route of over\u00a0680 kilometers<\/strong>. Considered as the\u00a0\u201cBike Dakar<\/strong>\u201dis a race open to amateur participants but that attracts major figures from professional cycling due to its characteristics and toughness.<\/p>\n The team<\/strong><\/p>\n As representatives of the BATHCO-LUCHAMOS POR LA VIDA team, two proven fighters in sports and even more so for their personal experience have been selected: Felipe Fern\u00e1ndez P\u00e9rez and \u00c1lvaro Postigo, husband and brother-in-law respectively of Almudena Ruiz Pell\u00f3n, the precursor of the Luchamos Por La Vida Association.<\/p>\n Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n In the coming months, long days of training and preparation await them to reach peak condition by May, but the BATHCO-LUCHAMOS POR LA VIDA team will not be alone.
