Raymond Arrieta started the third day of the fifteenth edition of Da Vida with injuries to his calf and two toes, but the spirit and desire to achieve the goal for the cancer hospital patients does not go away.
“I have a slightly injured calf and two slightly injured fingers, but it won’t be long. We go step by step. And I have people who take care of me. You protect me and we go, we.” “We’re fine. We’re fine,” said Arrieta.
The comedian would arrive today in the Beatriz de Caguas neighborhood to complete half the journey. Sara Jarque and doctor Víctor Gordon were among the personalities who accompanied Arrieta on the third day, which was full of emotions, as he told in an intervention in Día a Día.
Before leaving, he explained to Telenoticias that yesterday he injured his nails and calves on the way from Aibonito to Cayey because he had to descend the slopes on the way.
“There are other complications of going downhill for a long period of time because you’re holding on to the step, you’re holding onto the step and you hurt your calf, your back, your hips. So we spent more than an hour walking down a steep hill. “We’re progressing bit by bit,” the presenter also claimed.
“Yesterday I said: I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore. There were a lot of climbs, a lot of heat. Many sacrifices, but the heart does not stop believing. So is our heart with.” “The hospital, us as we arrive. Lame, slow, slow, almost stopped. We’ll get there,” he added.
Among today’s special moments, the comedian credited a reunion with a cancer survivor he saw in the 2018 issue, and today he went looking for Raymond to show him he was healthy. He also highlighted a reunion with a child he had taken a picture with. Crying, the boy presented him with a gift on behalf of his grandmother.
Tomorrow, Da Vida will leave the Beatriz de Caguas neighborhood towards Caguas Municipal Government Center. On Sunday the route goes from Caguas to Guaynabo and on Monday, the last day of the trek, it goes from the Guaynabo Police Association to the Hiram Bithorn where the official conclusion of the trek will take place.
