At the Guttmann Institute headquarters in Badalona, ​​​​high in the mountains next to Can Ruti Hospital, a dozen wheelchair-bound patients took out their phones and took photographs of the team preparing to compete in the Titan Desert, the demanding cycling race that crosses the Sahara Desert. For the first time, a Guttmann team will participate. "It's nice to see how other patients look at what people who have been through difficult times like them can achieve," says Dr. Alex del Arco, a traumatologist at the Institute. Del Arco, who is passionate about sports, participated in the Titan Desert in 2015 and stated that he would not return after suffering from gastroenteritis. Now he will return with someone else.
