Let's remember what we did this morning. As every day we wake up, we stretch, we get up, we bathe, we dress, we have breakfast, we brush our teeth and we leave our house to the destination we chose.
Now imagine if you want to get up, but you have to wait for someone to pick you up. They are hungry, but they must wait to be fed. Who wants to go out and play, but put them back in bed where they will spend the rest of the day.

This was the life of Laura, our inspiration, a 5-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. He lived in a rural area of Colombia with his mother and his two brothers. I did not have the resources or the elements to access a rehabilitation program. He spent 24 hours a day in the same position, his body was rigid and his mother only knew that he had a head problem, in December 2015 Laura became an angel.
As Laura 300,000 children in Colombia suffer from cerebral palsy, more than 70% of them live in poverty.
