Lorca is a city of sport.
We constantly tests and events of all kinds that energize our social life and turn us into a sports capital of prestige.
Sports Games Guadalentín, popular races, or, to give concrete examples of recent months, the Meeting Guidance and Highlands Rallye give good faith of sportsmanship reigns on this earth.
But there are other events that perhaps less known in the sporting calendar, but nonetheless we provide the best examples of achievement and personal satisfaction.
We are talking about a sporting event to be held, something that comes from pride in our town.
The aim of these Games, above the sporty character, is to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation, but also to publicize examples of recovery after a transplant.
We will have the privilege of hosting these days 150 athletes, plus family and followers, with all that this will mean for the revitalization of Lorca.
Thus tripling the participants of the above quotation and serves as a prelude for the World Championship to be held in Malaga next year.
This event brings synergies that have managed to fill the municipality hotels, proving once again that sport represents one of the driving forces greater impact on our region.
The Murcia region last year reached a historic rate of 44.3 multi-organ donations per million population, which stood almost five points above the national average, which is 39.7.

Noteworthy that Spain is the country in the world that gets better results in organ donation and transplantation.
But as important as this that can mean life or death of a person, we can never form and you have to educate everyone about the importance of donating question.
Sport is health, personal growth and collective work.
