Everything began after a long struggle

During the race of my life, there were 24 years of addiction. I always wanted to quit drugs, but withdrawal symptoms, the environment around me, and a lack of resources became my deadly trap. DRUGS ARE A SERIAL KILLER. I lost my wife, my daughters, my family—I lost everything.
But one day, I was born again. A fighter was born. After a long process of detox, rehabilitation, and the rebuilding of values, I regained everything I had lost. I got my family back and began to help anyone who needed it. Out of this need, Aliento de Vida was born.
One day, I decided to start running and make sport my way of life. Taking sport as a lifestyle isn’t just about following a physical routine; it’s about embracing a philosophy of wellbeing, discipline, and balance. It means committing to personal goals, pushing our own limits, and learning to listen to and respect our bodies.
On the 17th of February, I took on the EPIC TRAIL SIERRA BLANCA in MARBELLA (@marbella_epictrail), finishing in 35th place with a time of 15 hours, 25 minutes, and 55 seconds, proudly flying the flag. In the struggle to conquer this trail, I only lost a tooth, but I gained confidence, personal achievement, and much more.
In conclusion,
I have won the battle once again.
