Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).- The 15th edition of the San Juan Cosalá Artistic Marathon will be held in the municipality of Jocotepec. Its purpose is to help pay the medical expenses of people from the community with chronic illnesses.
The charity event will take place in the Main Square of San Juan Cosalá on Saturday, February 20th. This year, the event will benefit eleven people suffering from different types of diseases such as cancer, leukemia and kidney failure. The proceeds will help these people pay for their medical treatments.
One recipient is Mónica Garcia, one of this year’s beneficiaries, who has been suffering from kidney failure for some time which has kept her bedridden making it increasingly difficult to pay for her treatment.
Enrique Rodríguez Zamora, general coordinator of the event, shared that the line-up of artists that will participate in the 15th event has not yet been confirmed, but the eleven booths where a great variety of food is usually offered for sale are already lined up.
The organizer expects the attendance to exceed 500 participants, between locals and visitors.The goal is to raise 300,000 pesos, which will be distributed among the eleven people selected this year.
«The truth is that after last year’s event was postponed due to the coronavirus, this year we can feel and see the enthusiasm of the people to participate,” said Rodríguez Zamora.
Rodríguez Zamora invited the community to attend the event, since the sole purpose of this non-profit association is to help those who need it most.
