Enrique Sanchez, vice president of the Real Madrid Foundation; Manuel Marina Breysse, csports ardiologist and CEO of IDOVEN; and Iker Casillas, have met this Wednesday in the auditorium of the City of Real Madrid to seal an institutional signature that means the launch of a project that, among other things, will carry out cardiological analyzes on 800 boys and girls from the Real Madrid Foundation in order to to prevent or detect heart disease.

Our only objective is to improve the lives of the little ones. “
“We must make the whole society aware of the importance of conducting periodic reviews of our heart. If, in addition, thanks to this collaboration, vulnerable groups and young people with a high risk of heart disease benefit, I think we will be helping families in need,” added the former goalkeeper.
