The boat with women who have suffered cancer sails across the Atlantic!!!!

Five anonymous women, with very different trajectories, join to cross the Atlantic on board a sailboat. They all have something in common: they have overcome cancer. With this adventure, from Valencia to Martinique, they launch a message against breast cancer and try to show that after defeating it  there is a lot of life, a life full of challenges, dreams and adventures.



Carmen Peláez

He is a family doctor, he is 57 years old and he is from Madrid. She has been married for 30 years and has two children, a 24 year old boy and a 22 year old girl.

Carmen has embarked on this adventure because when she saw the project she thought: "It is made for me, I like to sail and I was enthusiastic about the subject. I thought it was a nice thing, I saw how it had come from last year and I decided to write them. "

He hopes to convey the idea that one can "get out of the disease reinforced at all levels and want to do a thousand things".

He explains that before, breast cancer was "very frightening because it was equivalent to death in a relatively short time," and that currently "people see it differently."




Marian Santiago

He is a sergeant of the Civil Guard Traffic, is 46 years old and works in Huesca but is from Madrid. With a stable and childless couple, she affirms that this challenge for her "is a part of personal improvement" but she says she does it "to give encouragement to the girls who are going through the same thing that I went through."

He hopes that this project will reach many people and make them feel "a little bit better". Cancer has learned: "today I am here and tomorrow I am not"; Also adds that he no longer bother to discuss things that are not transcendent because it lives better and happier.



Patricia Alonso

She is 38 years old, from Palma de Mallorca, a biologist, married, with two small daughters.

"I hope this project reaches as many people as possible, that the cancer can be overcome and that you can continue with a full life after passing the disease," he says.

"I met the challenge of Kilimanjaro, this year I found out by chance and I was very excited both personally and to show that after cancer there is life and many things to do," he says.

It highlights the importance of raising awareness: "Unfortunately anyone can touch you."



Susana Laguarda

He is a civil guard, works as escort in the Royal House, is 42 years old and is from Madrid. He has a stable partner, no children.

"When I was sick I told myself that I was never going to set limits and this is a way to prove it. Cancer has taken away a lot, like the possibility of having children, but it has also taught me to enjoy the little things, "he explains.

He ventures into this project to help people who are passing the disease and give them encouragement, sending the message: "If we could, you can too. You can go out and after the cancer there is a full life, "he guarante



Yolanda Preciados

Tiene 50 years, is an entrepreneur in the real estate world, Pamplona, although she lives in Mijas, Malaga. She is married and has a son.

He sets out on this adventure because he feels the need to express that "feeling of clinging to life". It claims to be a demonstration of our ability to do acts that some people do not even think about, after overcoming a cancer.

He points out that the disease lived with much sadness and despair, but with distance "you get positive things" and that our country "is very aware", but insists on the need to "send more budget to research against this disease."
