Cullera Rugby Club and Trust Rugby International Spain organise the “virtual charity race and walk to fight against MND” in support of Associació ADELA CV (MND Valencian Association).
What is ADELA CV ?
The Valencian Association of Motor Neurone Disease (ADELA-CV) was born in 1992 as a response to the needs of families facing a practically unknown disease at that time, becoming both a reference and representative of the families, combining strength and effort for the contribution of solutions and the attainment of rights, guaranteeing adequate care for affected people.
The main goal is to give visibility to this cruel disease and to support the social health programs that the Valencian Association of MND carries out in the Valencian Community for affected people and their families.
MND is the third most common neurodegenerative disease which causes the death of motor neurons and, consequently, the person who suffers from it loses the mobility of muscles, the ability to speak, swallow and further respiratory problems which force these people to require assistance for any activity 24 hours a day.
Without losing sight of a future cure, we understand that, although this disease currently has no cure, it has a treatment and requires specialized care adapted to its severity and the situations it generates. For this, ADELA-CV develops programmes of psychological support, social counselling, a series of technical resources, alternative and augmentative communication, family respite, physiotherapy and speech therapy.
What is a virtual race?
It is an individual experience which is shared collectively and in sync. This is possible thanks to the APP technology of geolocation and synchronization of all the participants, where our mobile will be our chip. As in any conventional race you will have to register for our race, and once the registration is formalized you will receive a confirmation email with a locator and with the link to the race APP so that you can download it to your mobile.
When?
From 00:00 of 1st May 2021 until 23:59 hours of the 16th May 2021 . Within this time interval each participant will choose the day and time to complete the distance of the race.
Distance and route
There are two DISTANCES:

3K Walk
Each participant will choose the distance in which they want to participate at the time of registration. The route will be freely chosen by each participant, always taking into account the possible mobility limitations established by the Government for the prevention of Covid-19, always respecting the safety distances and the number of participants who can get together at one time.
