They don’t give up. Here you see, running through sport can be recovered, and we can all be where we want to be. We just have to get psyched up.
Rubiel Rodriguez
Colombian National Police
The impact of the race for me personally is to overcome. Measuring how far we can go and how far our limits will take us. There really are no limits; everything is in the mind.
Juan Pablo Castañeda
Colombian Army
The impact that this career has had for us has been very important because it highlights the inclusion and social work through human rights that is being implemented through INL and the different programs.
Adriana Aristizabal
CEO & Founder of iVoice Comunications
Today we have learned many things in this place supporting our Colombia team, supporting 20 Colombian military and police officers who lost some of their limbs in the war against drug trafficking in Colombia.
So we are very proud that iVoice is linked to this kind of organizations. To have been able to run with them, to accompany them, to encourage them and above all to express our solidarity and our great admiration.
