FCC employees run for good causes Popular Heart Race, Madrid FCC has once again joined the Po- pular Heart Race, held in Madrid on 28 September last. This is a race or- ganised by the Spanish Heart Foun- dation and the Spanish Cardiology Society to raise public awareness on the importance of preventing car- diovascular diseases and fighting sedentary lifestyles. FCC acquired 150 bibs so that FCC employees could be present at this popular race, which transmits va- lues of solidarity, companionship and sport to organisations. Once again this year, FCC employees’ participation has been a success, and they have not failed at this im- portant sporting event. On this oc- casion, FCC set up a meeting point to bring participants together and give them T-shirts and water. The aim of this race, which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary, is to promote the practice of physical activity among the population, from the youngest to the oldest, and to enjoy a festive and family day whe- re sport is the protagonist, instilling the importance of acquiring healthy lifestyle habits to improve people’s physical condition. The money raised in this race is earmarked for promoting cardiovas- cular research and generating cam- paigns to teach good healthy habits. FCC has once again joined the Popular Heart Race held in Madrid. These initiatives are part of FCC’s Vive Saludable project, which aims to facilitate and promote actions to promote health and well-being. www.carrerapopulardelcorazon.com Tinguaro Quintero, a gardener at FCC Medio Ambiente, wins the first Business Race in Lanzarote, Las Palmas Tinguaro Quintero, who has been working for three years as a gardener for FCC Medio Ambiente for the San Bartolomé City Council, has become the overall winner of the first edition of the Lanzarote Business Race.
