Eladio Santos, deputy delegate of the Government in Ourense, encouraged the citizens on Tuesday to participate in the Solidarity Race Route 09, "a test that will take place on June 22, in favor of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, a just and necessary cause." He did so during the presentation of the race, at the Marcos Valcárcel Cultural Center in Ourense, where he was accompanied by the chief provincial commissioner of the National Police, Juan Cástor Vázquez.
In his speech, Eladio Santos congratulated the National Police for organizing this solidarity initiative, "an example of the democratic values of the institution and its commitment to social inclusion and the promotion of sport." "Programs, projects, and initiatives like this need to be pushed forward to try to improve the living conditions of those who need it most," he said.
The benefits obtained in the test will be donated to the Ourense association Trascos, which works on behalf of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The subdelegate thanked the work of this entity that offers resources to people with ASD and their families and seeks to raise awareness in society. "The Government is implementing the Spanish Strategy on Autism Spectrum Disorder which, with an allocation of 40 million euros, pursues the objectives of promoting job inclusion, improving early care and promoting research, among others," said Santos.
