It is Daniel Albero, without proposing it, a lesson.One that is not learned at school or books, but in life, on a day -to -day basis.And that can help everyone, without proposing it.Daniel Albero (@diabeticodakar) is a motorcycle lover, a pilot with a dream under the helmet: participate in the 2018 Dakar.
Daniel Albero is a creator of realities, of better worlds in which a disease is no impediment but a greater impulse to continue living.
With eight years, acute meningitis marked Albero for life: he took him to a coma for almost a month and, when he woke up, he found a type 1 diabetes as a companion for life, which forces him to do controls and carryAlways its insulin in tow.It does not prevent him from playing sports, but we do many controls, such as those of the Novo Nordisk cycling team.
That is why it was he who taught his family that nothing can break the dreams that one pursues with more illusion than money.With what he won from his musical skills, a kawasaki kx 125 was bought, a vehicle to draw on the earth the new realities that he proposed to star.
«My successes were not very big, but it ended all those races I introduced me.This was very important for me, taking into account the few resources I had and with my illness behind my back ... although this, I never confessed, ”says the pilot.
Amateurly dedicates its spare time to the motorcycle.Although to survive invest its energies in the "El Pitch" restaurant.And everything seems to go on wheels until the sudden death of his newborn son and the crisis that forces him to close his business makes him reconsider the importance of being happy over conventions.
It is the motorcycle that takes it out of depression and it is with it with which an enriching future, personal growth is raised.Since 2014 participates in the Spanish Rallies Championship, the Low Aragon or the PanFrica.But the goal becomes even bigger.And in 2018 he wants to be at the departure of the Dakar.
It is a hard, the most difficult test in the world.But difficulties do not start at the exit, but much earlier.It is the path that Albero is now drawing: the search for material, equipment, economic infrastructure and livelihood.
It already has the support of companies such as Marqueset or Dubon Racing and entities such as the University Hospital of La Ribera and Motodes, but for their illness they demand to go with "backpack", which increases the budget.But Albero is clear how to face the situation: he wants to be the first diabetic to play a Dakar.
At the moment, nothing has stopped it.And the insulin will not do it.On the contrary, she is her impulse to challenge the world.The one that tells you that this or that should not do.He is proof that reality is much more than they say.
