| The vice mayor and the delegate councilor for Sports will hold a meeting with her at 10:30 am at the Town Hall | Next Tuesday, October 6, the Deputy Mayor, Noelia Arroyo, and the Councilor for Sports, Diego Ortega, receive Lorena Madrid from Cartagena, chosen for the 'Pelayo Vida Challenge.The meeting will be held at 10:30 am in the Town Hall.The Cartagena-born Lorena Madrid Rubio, member and athlete of the Real Club de Regatas de Cartagena, has been chosen to be one of the five sailors in the 'Pelayo Vida Challenge', which this year will consist of the return to Spain in a Volvo V70 sailboat.Lorena arrived at the Real Club de Regatas de Cartagena two years ago as captain of the BCS dragon boat team 'Vientos de Cartagena', made up of women who have suffered breast cancer.

Since then she has not stopped working in favor of nautical sports, in addition to making great contributions to the Club from the human point of view due to her capacity for sacrifice and desire to improve.The women who present themselves to the Pelayo Vida Challenge represent all those who fight every day against the cancer they suffer.

Those who get a place in any of the challenges have a great responsibility, for themselves and for all patients, to see that after cancer there is still a lot of life.

Seeing these women ascend the highest peak in Africa, cross the Atlantic, tread the cold Arctic or pedal in the Annapurna Valley, show that with a positive attitude you can overcome any wall.
