24 hours paddling for Aspanob in Es Castell

The Polish athlete Marcin Swiatek has paddled non-stop for 24 hours for the benefit of children with cancer in Menorca.

From 9 am on Saturday until Sunday, this resident of the island has not stopped paddling "indoor" in the multipurpose room of Es Soleiet in Es Castell to raise funds for Aspanob, an association that helps families with children with cancer.

For the third consecutive year, Swiatek has completed this solidarity feat in which he has paddled a total of 220 virtual kilometers. To meet the goal, the national police officer, Alvaro Z.L. has been training Swiatek, who is dedicated to long distance rowing.

During these 24 hours, Swiatek has not been alone at any time, as he has received the support of Aspanob, citizens and even athletes who joined in rowing with him, and who were present to applaud him when he got off the oar after completing the feat.
