• Health The despair of little Martin, with terminal cancer and "abandoned" by the Administration
  • Solidarity Frank Cuesta travels to Murcia to surprise Martin

Gone is a tireless fighter, a warrior, an example to all. Little Martin, only eight years old, has died after his heroic fight against brain cancer. Eight months ago, he was diagnosed with a diffuse midline glioma with H3 QM27 mutation, a tumor with a survival rate of 1% and a median life expectancy of 12 months.

His mother Isabel Muelas, another fighter, has not stopped fighting for the Administration to invest in research to try to make Martin the last child to succumb to this evil, a very aggressive, fast-growing cancer that appears in children between 5 and 10 years old and of which 30 cases are diagnosed in Spain each year.

It was his brother Rafa, who shared the day to day of the little one on his Instagram account and who initiated several collections of signatures to ask for investment for research, which has given the tragic news.

Rafa could not better define the courage of Martín in the post in which he says goodbye to his "hero", his "bug", his "treasure". "He flies high like a Charizard. Like the dragon you've always been. Leave the weight with us and go to the place where only the best are. The best coach in the world. My best coach. My dream. My joy. Rest my life that you have earned," he writes heartbroken.

"You've left everything here everything. You have taught us the greatest thing in the world: love, innocence, desire, simplicity. You have left in peace, calm and with everyone by the hand. We know that your example and struggle will help others like you. To those who will come. Because you are already eternal.
You are already gloating over those who are forever. I love you my life.", continues Rafa.

But despite the fatal outcome, Rafa continues and will continue to fight for the children who, like his brother, are hopeless in the face of a disease that is not investigated. "I'm sorry. I swear I thought we'd make it. I swear I thought that with all this I could give you an alternative. But we were late. Or we don't get there. I'm so sorry my dragon. But I promise you that this will not fall on deaf ears. You tete promises you that your name will be among the greatest. Martin Alvarez Muelas. The boy who gave everything for others," Rafa says goodbye.

Just a few days ago Martin received a visit from one of his idols, Frank Cuesta. That happy day, those two happy hours, gave Martin a dream and his family a smile to see that the little one could enjoy and show his cards to the person he admired.

But Rafa does not intend to throw in the towel and pointing to Health and the President of the Government in his publication affirms that "they do not want letters giving condolences". "One more death while you look away. 25 years of death in silence," ends his post.
