In his intervention entitled "The sense of running" the athlete has expressed his conviction that sport or physical activity, well supervised, could be key in personal development.
Subsequently, users and professionals of AFES, accompanied by members of the Hestia Foundation, have moved to the newly inaugurated exterior track of the pavilion for the mural graffiti, designed by the Menorcan illustrator Juan José Zacarías, Zaca.
Pulling brushes, expertise and good disposition, shortly before 1:30 p.m., the drawing has been colored, creating a moment of encounter between the collective of people with mental illness and basketball players.
