Juan Carlos Unzué: "Hi ha dues coses importants: valorar el present i no mirar gaire endavant"

It was impossible for Juan Carlos Unzué to be present at the ARA party where he was symbolically awarded the sixth Carles Capdevila Award for his work in raising awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the dreaded ALS, a disease that the former Navarrese player and coach, now 58 years old, has suffered from for more than five years. Although he sent an emotional and demanding message of gratitude, we were finally able to present him with the award in person in the context of an interview in which he reviews both his struggle to achieve improvement in the care and attention of sick people like him, as well as his sporting life and above all his outlook on life and the values ​​​​that are needed to face it. Unzué, who has already been forced to stop his work as a sports commentator due to the disease, has used his fame to help put the issue of care and the high cost of this highly dependent disease on the political agenda, which has helped to pass a law that precisely ensures financial support for the most severe cases, streamlines procedures and ensures better training for healthcare personnel. · Visit the ARA YouTube channel:    / diariara   · Subscribe to the ARA YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/1ekj9ID · Watch more videos at: http://www.ara.cat/ · Subscribe and enjoy ARA: http://bit.ly/1LrQZGq · Subscribe to the Ara.cat newsletter: https://bit.ly/3m2QBvL
