Athletes' Manifesto<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the Manifesto to be read in Valdebebas, the athletes affirm their \"commitment and loyalty to life; they underline their desire for life to be \"exalted, encouraged and protected in any circumstance, situation or period of life\", and defend it \"as lovers and practitioners of physical activity and sport, as descendants of our parents or caregivers, who gave us life and the opportunity to experience and improve our human qualities thanks to sport\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text of the Manifesto<\/strong> continues as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Because we want Life to be exalted, encouraged and protected in any circumstance, situation or period of Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because we believe that Life must be defended against inappropriate rules that want to end the Life of those who cannot defend themselves due to their innocence, physical or mental condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the act of being born is the first sporting gesture performed by the human being, after the long period of learning, of training, in the maternal womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the cry of the newborn, when he or she comes out into earthly life, is a cry of overcoming, of effort and illusion. Like an athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because a personal misfortune is not a reason to prevent a Life. Neither is a disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because from Plato, Newton or Usain Bolt, we are all disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish athletes, and all those who wish to adhere to this manifesto for Life, commit ourselves to defend the Life of those who have less material and social means and personal capacities\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petitions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Accordingly, the protesters ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To Spanish women and men: Do not be afraid to be parents: be daring. You will win the only gold medal that deserves to be won in Life. You will wear it around your neck, close to your heart, for the rest of your days. But, above all, share your Life with a new being. Let him play and play with him\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To Spanish public and private entities: To help the birth rate and unprotected mothers; so that children have the opportunity to be born in freedom, to move, without ties and without fear, through true gardens of fantasy and adventure\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(To be proclaimed on June 27th at the \"Athletes for Life\" race at Valdebebas Park in Madrid).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who wish to do so, can send their adhesion to this manifesto to the address of the first signatory indicating name and surname, sport, degree, city.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
