On the occasion of the sixth edition of Cross of San Leandro, the charity race organized every year by the Police Localcon the support of the City of Cartagena, this morning we have delivered two checks worth 1,700 euroscada one to two charities: the soup kitchen San Diego-Caritas and Pablo Ugarte Association fight against childhood cancer.
The event, which was attended by the mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, has developed its own agencies in the social area, where the mayor held a meeting with about 40 kids between 3 and 12 añossentados against the dishes to make your meal of the day.
At the time of delivery of both checks it has also been represented by both social organizations, who thanked the gesture of the municipal police and volunteer social work La Caixa.
One of the agents, Jose Quijada, said that in this latest edition of the sporting event 240 participants, 110 of them children, who make a payment representative useful but then destine to charity purposes were counted.
The Mayor, Jose Lopez, took the opportunity to praise the work being done by volunteers in both kitchen and with school arriving every day and eating, picnicking and even do their homework in downtown San Diego.
Meanwhile, one of the representatives of the Association Pablo Ugarte noted that the money received will be used entirely to continue the research work in the field of cancer cure.
