Zurich Seguros combines sport and solidarity by setting up a charity running project, promoted by Z Zurich Foundation.

Zurich Seguros will sponsor 17 races in the form of marathons, half marathons and women's races in different cities. For each city, Zurich Foundation will choose an organization to which it will give 1 euro for every participant that reaches the finish line.

Institut Guttmann has been chosen as the organisation to receive the donation from the races that take place in the city of Barcelona. On 19 February, when the eDreams Half Marathon took place, we received a solidarity check of €17,573. On the upcoming Sunday 19 March, we will be at the finishing line of the Barcelona Marathon, as we are, once again the receiving organization of the solidarity check.

We are very happy to have been selected by Zurich Seguros and Z Zurich Foundation as the receiving organization of this donation, as it will help us carry out the project "The Heart of Guttman", consisting of the renovation of the gym.

The gym is the most important space within the Functional Rehabilitation Area of the hospital. Of the 5,000 patients we attend annually, most of them use the gym as part of their rehabilitation process. That is why it needs to be renovated; so it can adapt to new needs and environments, and thus continue beating stronger.
