The amount that is collected with the inscriptions will go entirely to the Monte Real Adapted Sailing School, whose main objective is to bring people with any type of disability closer to the sea, so that they can sail under equal conditions, in facilities without barriers. and on board adapted boats.
More than 200 people from different parts of Galicia participated in the last edition of the Solidarity Vertiathlon, which allowed them to raise, with their registration fees, nearly five thousand four hundred euros. The winners were Jacobo Crego, from the Vedra Olympian, in the men’s absolute category; and her clubmate, Aida García, in the women’s category.
