Through a new edition of the solidarity campaign 'Your help is a World', we have managed to raise 3.250 euros, which have been destined for the ASPATA (Association of people affected by the Spata5 gene mutation), an association that works to support families affected by this ultra-rare genetic disease, which causes intellectual disability, global developmental delay, epilepsy, muscular, auditory and visual alterations, among other symptoms.
The association promotes scientific research, the social visibility of this pathology and comprehensive support for families affected.
Currently, there are known about 40 cases worldwide and less than a dozen in Spain, which makes their work a key element in advancing knowledge and the search for treatments. It should be noted that in Manzanares we have a child affected by this terrible disease.
The initiative was developed in recent months through different solidarity actions linked to the winery's usual activity, including the sale of wines from the organic range Mundo de Yuntero, as well as other activities for charitable purposes, such as visits and tastings that have been a success from the moment they went on sale.
With this campaign, at Yuntero we wanted to make our contribution to support the important social work carried out by ASPATA, thus reaffirming our commitment to the environment and to those who need it most.
From the winery we thank ASPATA for its involvement and daily work and to all the people who have made it possible for this solidarity action to be a success, thanks to the involvement of those who believe in a cooperative and social model.
