“So I made myself a promise that this record will have the name of my mother and Multiple Sclerosis,” Domingo said.
Silvia, Domingo’s mother, is a patient with multiple sclerosis which causes neurological disability in people between 20 to 40 years of age.
“Today is the happiest day of my life. We have achieved it and at home. Thank you all,” said Silvia, Domingo’s mother, soon after the Barcelona Marathon.
Domingo’s mother previously suffered from Covid-19 in August. Fortunately, she recovered and came back stronger to win the marathon. The mother and son duo have shown immense strength and courage through their performance. Even when life put them through so many trials, they come out the other end stronger!
