On day 3 of the challenge (a 125km marathon from Guatemala to San Pedro Sula, Honduras) my health deteriorates as I suffer kidney and heart problems. Taking me to the hospital in an ambulance, I go into cardiac arrhythmia and the doctors immediately put me on an oxygen tank. Tests show that the levels of sodium, potassium and calcium in my blood are abnormal and I begin to urinate a red liquid.
That day running from Omoa to Baracoa, the heat, humidity and unending hills were unbearable-but due to the moral support of thousands of Hondurans who took to the streets to cheer me on and donate, I decide not to give up. I fall countless times on the steep hills-as on the first day of the challenge I tore both menisci and ACL on my right knee.
In this video I show you everything that happened on the third day.
The challenge: run 125 km from the Guatemala-Honduras border to San Pedro Sula to raise funds to build a school in Chamelecón, one of the most marginalized and stigmatized sectors of the city. Thanks to all the sponsors and donors for making this challenge possible, everyone who accompanied me along the way and members of my team for recording every second of the experience.
