This weekend was held the 3rd edition of the Abades Stone Race in Loja, an edition that has had almost 800 participants and in which Congelados Apolo has been part.
This year, the solidarity of the race goes to the Asociación de Enfermos Neuromusculares de Granada (ASEMGRA), a small association from Granada whose main objective is focused on the promotion of all kinds of actions and information aimed at improving the situation (duration and quality of life) of people affected by chronic muscular and peripheral nervous system diseases.
In Congelados Apolo, in addition to sponsoring this sporting event, we wanted to collaborate with ASEMGRA organizing in our stand “Langostinos Solidarios”, in which we have sold plates of Apolo cooked prawns at 2 € per plate. All proceeds from the solidarity prawns will go to the ASEMGRA Association, to help them continue with the great work they do with muscle patients and their families in our province, through activities, information, psychological support and guidance.
