The Sacyr Foundation supports the Fundación Aspanovas in their project “Mi Estrella Viajera”. You can participate now by walking some kilometers and raising awareness about children’s cancer.
As part of the Sacyr Foundation’s “Un mapa, un año” (One map, one year) initiative, we collaborate with different local foundations or organizations so that Sacyr’s social impact can have greater reach. We have collaborated with Aspanovas, a foundation in Bizkaia, Basque Country. They have organized the project “Mi Estrella viajera, que mi estrella no deje de brillar”, in which a group of athletes can do a cycle to help families of children with cancer.
The project has been going on since 2019 and it consists of a cycle along the “Ruta del Duero”, from Picos de Urbión to Oporto, between September 2nd to September 10th. A group of friends will participate in this cycle and experience all sorts of adventures.
How can you collaborate?

- Follow MI ESTRELLA VIAJERA in Strava (https://www.strava.com/athletes/105844262)
- You will be added in the Strava group to participate in this chlallenge (Open from September 2nd).
The distance registered from September 2nd to September 10th in your Strava app, whether on foot, running, or by bike will accumulate and will be purchased by the sponsoring companies. Don't forget to include a picture with your pet on Strava, the km you walk with them are added to your count too!
All the proceefs from the challenge "Mi estrella viajera. Que mi estrella no deje de brillar" will go to Aspanovas, an organization of parents of children and adolescents with cancer in Bizkaia.
