Alfonso Salido Zambrana, 59, has been battling colon cancer since September 2021, the most diagnosed cancer in Spain and the second deadliest. Although the advanced cancer diagnosis was a heavy blow, Alfonso didn’t give up his active life and dedicated even more energy to cycling, a passion he discovered at 44. Since his diagnosis, he has competed in UCI events in Coimbra, a world cycling championship in Glasgow in 2023, and the Spanish and Andalusian championships. His children, Francisco and Verónica, are also cyclists, and she started riding to support her father. Three years later, Alfonso remains full of life and motivation. He rides about 60 kilometers a day, except on chemotherapy days, which are every two weeks. The physical exhaustion from the treatment, he says, fades away as he pedals on the road.Read moreLess
