In his words

“The main objective has always been the family. A tribute to the family as an institution.”
El principal objetivo siempre ha sido la familia. Un homenaje a la familia como institución.

Cuando terminamos Berlín y dijimos que podríamos seguir corriendo los maratones majors, mi hijo Santiago dijo que esto podría ser un récord.
