Solidarity Pedals: An Adventure that Drives Well-being

In an increasingly globalized world, where distances are shortening and connections are multiplying, stories emerge that inspire us to believe in solidarity and the power of individual effort. The journey of Alfredo Lasry and Daniel Mamopulakos through the challenging mountains of Morocco, as part of the BikingMan, is one of them. Beyond a simple sporting adventure, their journey became a solidarity feat that benefits the indigenous and Creole communities of southern Orinoco, thanks to the Maniapure Foundation.


An Extreme Challenge, a Noble Cause


The BikingMan Morocco is undoubtedly a test of endurance that pushes the physical and mental limits of the most experienced cyclists. Endless kilometers, steep climbs, and extreme weather conditions are just some of the challenges these athletes must face. However, for Lasry and Mamopulakos, this competition was much more than a mere sporting goal. With each pedal stroke, these brave Venezuelans committed to raising funds for the Maniapure Foundation, an organization that works tirelessly to improve the quality of life of indigenous and Creole communities in Venezuela.





The Maniapure Foundation, since its creation in 2000, has been dedicated to providing quality healthcare, education, and development opportunities to the most vulnerable populations in the state of Bolívar. Through agreements with universities and other strategic partners, the foundation has managed to positively impact the lives of thousands of people.


An Alliance for the Common Good


The union between the cyclists and the foundation represents a powerful alliance that demonstrates that sports and solidarity can go hand in hand. By turning their passion for cycling into a tool to generate a positive social impact, Lasry and Mamopulakos have inspired many others to join this noble cause.


The initiative to raise funds per meter traveled during the BikingMan Morocco has not only allowed the Maniapure Foundation to continue with its projects but has also raised greater awareness of the situation of indigenous and Creole communities in Venezuela. Every donation, no matter how small, represents a step closer to a fairer and more equitable future for these populations.


An Impact that Transcends Borders


The story of Alfredo Lasry and Daniel Mamopulakos is an example of how individual effort can generate large-scale change. Their sportsmanship, courage, and determination have transcended the borders of Venezuela and have inspired people from all over the world to support this noble cause.


A Call to Action


The Maniapure Foundation invites everyone to follow the example of Lasry and Mamopulakos and join this cause. Every donation, no matter how small, contributes to improving the lives of thousands of people. Together we can build a more hopeful future for the indigenous and Creole communities of Venezuela.




The solidarity pedals of Alfredo Lasry and Daniel Mamopulakos are a sign that sports can be a powerful tool to generate positive change in society. Their commitment to Venezuela and their trust in the Maniapure Foundation are an example to follow for all. Thanks to their efforts, we can continue working together to build a more just and equitable future for the most vulnerable communities in Venezuela.
