– I am happy to have won the race that was strenuous because of the rain, but I was involved in expressing humanity to my peers from Kocani who needed further rehabilitation. We young people need to help ourselves and support when it is most needed. I came to Skopje this morning from Veles. On the Medina Vodno track, neither heavy and uninterrupted rain prevented me from doing my best and to win and thus give my support to those who need the most support in their difficult recovery race, said Roberto Dimitrievski.

The money raised from the race will be paid to the Red Cross account and will be sent to the victims in Kocani who need rehabilitation and recovery.
