The city of Calpe has decided to join the initiative of the Fundación Domus Vi "Kilómetros para recordar" ("Kilometres for Memory"). The aim is to raise funds for research and prevention of this disease.
"Kilómetros para recordar" is an app with which any person can cooperate in the fight against this disease. First you have to download the app Google Fit and then the app "Kilómetros para recordar". When both apps are synchronized, the app counts the steps taken, which are then converted into donations for research. The challenge is to cover 200,000 kilometers this year. If this goal is achieved, the Fundación Domus Vi will donate 10,000 euros for this purpose.
Various associations in Calpe have also joined this initiative, such as the Association of Housewives, Manos Unidas or the Association of Fibromialgia and Fatiga Crónica of Calpe. Everyone can participate on an individual basis or as a team. In this case, Calpe will participate with a team.
The challenge began last Saturday, 21 September, Alzheimer World Day, and will end on 7 October.
