Matías Gómez Valdebenito, a young dog walker residing in the Canary Islands for 15 years, will cross Lanzarote and Fuerteventura on foot to raise funds for childhood cancer research.
As he explains in a video he has published on social networks, Matías Gómez has been touring the island of Majorera from north to south for two years to raise funds for the Fuerteventura Association against Cancer. And "seeing that people are quite involved", this year he decided to expand the route and contact the Association of Relatives and Oncohematological Patients of Lanzarote (Afol) to extend it to the island of Conejera.
In addition, to this third solidarity challenge, which will take place in May of next year, he has invited "a person who "likes adventure", Jesús Calleja, a Spanish mountaineer, adventurer and presenter of the television program 'Planeta Calleja'.
Specifically, Matías Gómez will travel Lanzarote "from end to end in two days" and then head to Fuerteventura, making the distance between the two islands by kayak. He will dedicate three days to touring the island of Majorera, culminating in the south, where both Afol and the Fuerteventura Association against Cancer will be waiting for him. In addition, "there will be people from both associations who will monitor and supply and scheduled stops where people can come to make donations and contributions", he explains in his video.
