The cook will take part in the next Dakar race in the motorbike class. Nandu Jubany has a long experience related to the motorbike world. Amongst others, he was Spain superior junior champion of Enduro on 250cc in 1989 and won the silver medal in the 6 days of Granada in 2000.
The cook wants that during all those training months his challenge and his efforts contribute to make the ARI project known and raise funds for it. It is a project of support and intensive research of the Hospital Clínic (Barcelona) that was impulsed by Ari, a girl who was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 13.
The aim of the project is to raise funds to strengthen the Home Care Unit so that the leukemia patients don't have to come to the hospital and foster the research for a treatment that would convert the Clínic in a pioneer hospital in Europa for the leukemia treatment.
"When I met Ari and knew about her project, it became clear to me that I would help them in a way or another. I want my effort and spirit of improvement to accompany and help them. What I will do has no merit whatsoever, compared to the struggle of thses patients, but if my action can help to publicize the project and to speed it up, I'll do everything I can", states Nandu Jubany.
Since February, the cook, who will ride a KTM, has begun his training at all levels (physical, nutritional and practice sessions). It will be possible to follow his evolution through the social networks and the www.nandudakar.com blog, where Nandu Jubany himself will explain his evolution to get to the Dakar race.
Through his blog, donations can be done directly to the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona for this project.
