I Villa de Madrid Ham Solidarity Fair
Gastronomy and solidarity came together on Sunday October 20 to support re- search on neurodegenerative diseases at the 1st Villa de Madrid Ham Solidarity Fair, an action promoted by the Madrid Associations of Ham Cutters and Always United Solidary Cutters together with the CIEN (Center for Research in Neurologi- cal Diseases) Foundation.
More than 120 ham cutters from all over Spain gathered at the Railway Museum to participate in this macro-tasting of ham and, in turn, collaborate with research on neurodegenerative diseases. From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the people of Madrid en- joyed the fair where they could taste dishes of different hams cut by some of the best cutters in our country and, in addition, they could visit the Railway Museum, an iconic place of the city and the scene of a multitude of film shoots. Both the Railway Museum and the Spanish Railway Foundation collaborate with the CIEN Foundation in a solidarity initiative to stop neurodegenerative disorders. The event also featured a performance by magician Andrés Madruga, with presenter Irma Soriano as master of ceremonies.
The 1st Villa de Madrid Ham Solidarity Fair was framed within the “NEURO2020: Neurodegenerative Diseases 2020. International Year of Research and Innovation” with the aim of raising awareness among citizens about the importance of re- search in neurodegenerative diseases, promoting fundraising for a series of initia- tives, dissemination actions and applied research projects.
