Elanco Animal Health employees – a división of Eli Lilly and Company – worried about children nutrition in our Community have developed an iniciative to help soup kitchens in Madrid.
On July 9th,10th and 11th we will cover more than 270 km cycling part of the Santiago´s route from Asturias and walking from Palas de Rei, both arriving Santiago de Compostela at the same time. We will donate and egg per km to soup kitchens focus on children (managed by “Mensajeros de la Paz”, an important organization on this area with whom we usually collaborate). Our goal is to get 1egg per day per kid during a year.
Just one egg guarantees half of daily protein and the whole iron supply a child needs for his growth. We would like to cover these needs by providing all the eggs we could get to the soup kitchens where lots of kids have to go on a daily basis to get what usually is their only meal on a day.

And remember…o this project every km is worth and egg!
