The Conquistando Escalones Association will receive 10,000 euros for their cause
The charity football table now has an owner. A winner has been drawn from the secret ballot box, which was placed in the El Madrigal stadium for the last few games of the season, and an anonymous donor will take the commemorative football table, from the second leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and the Submarine, for 10,000 euros. This money will be be given to the Conquistando Escalones Association.
It should be recalled that the German club have a tradition of giving a commemorative football table to the other team for every European match played at the BayArena, which both teams sign before the match. On this occasion, Bayer 04 Leverkusen gifted the table to Villarreal CF and the club has decided to give it a charitable purpose, auctioning it on behalf of the Conquistando Escalones Association.
Therefore, Villarreal CF put a ballot box in the VIP Stand of El Madrigal stadium and fans filled out a form indicating the price they were willing to pay for the football table and their personal information.
A medical alliance of four parties
Conquistando Escalones is an Association founded by people affected by Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD-1F). A family from Vila-real has suffered for more than 8 generations from a genetic mutation that makes them have this disease.
In several investigations it has been discovered that the protein affected in the said disease is the same as that which reproduces HIV, with the result being that the mutation of this gene makes them immune to AIDS. For this reason, finding the cure for this muscular disease could also mean the end of HIV.
This research involves four parties represented by José Alcamí (Carlos III Health Institute, Madrid), Juan Vilchez (‘La Fe’ Hospital, Valencia), Rubén Artero (University of Valencia) and Ramón Martí (‘Vall d’Hebron’ Hospital, Barcelona). They all need funds to carry out this investigation and find the cure for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD-1F) and AIDS.
