The Respiralia Foundation organized for the first time Respiralia 2010 “12 hours of swimming against Cystic Fibrosis,” as a presentation of the XI Swimming Tour around Formentera.
At the Agora Portals school swimming pool, 150 swimmers participated in the event of solidarity that had three objectives: to raise awareness of cystic fibrosis, presenting the XI Swimming Tour around Formentera and raising funds to finance the services offered to children and young people with this disease. All of them could test the comfort of the new anti jellyfish suit imported from Australia by the Respiralia Foundation. From May it will be available. Prices: 39,00 € children and 49,00 € adults.
Among the 150 swimmers emphasizes the participation of a baby of 11 months, a swimmer of 75 years that swam 10 kilometers, and the presence of authorities like the Minister for Health and Consumer Affairs, the Presidential Delegate for Sport of the Balearic Government, the Director General of Sports and the Director of Social Services of the Consell de Mallorca, two lieutenants of Mayor of Calvia and the Coordinator of Social Services City Council.
One of the most special visit was the football team Atletico Baleares of the 3rd Division, which made a generous donation.
