Before the rains started, last Sunday 27th, the Smile Mile was held, the third one organised by the Idiliq Foundation, with the collaboration of the Sports Department of Mijas, in aid of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC).
In this way, Idiliq brings back the Smile Mile, which was held in the vicinity of the Wyndham Grand Costa del Sol, and which had, as always, a charitable purpose, as the funds raised are allocated to cancer research.
The president of the Idiliq Foundation, Juan Miguel Marcos, emphasised that "after several years without organising it, we wanted to revive the Smile Mile and considered that the best time to do it was during the month of October, a month in which we carry out several actions in aid of the Spanish Association Against Cancer, thus making the Smile Mile a grand finale to our campaign".
Idiliq decided to resume this solidarity event coinciding with the celebration of its 25th anniversary, reaffirming its commitment to social groups. For the president of AECC in Mijas, Lola Sanchís, "with this event we close everything we have been doing in the month of October for breast cancer" and, thanked Idiliq "for all they do for us cause".
In this mile there are no losers, because in this Smile Mile we all win and and we win the most important thing, life. The event had the collaboration of the Mijas Town Hall. The councillor for sports, Mari Francis Alarcón, recalled that this was an "event of coexistence and collaboration that we wanted to be here because the AECC does really important work".
The event was attended by many Mijeños who also wanted to support the cause. The race started at eleven o'clock in the morning and had a circular route with a distance of 1.6 kilometres, accessible to everyone. After the walk, the day continued with a party with food, drink, entertainment and a charity market.
