Victoria along with most of Spain was moved last week:

“The Spanish lost an inspirational young man from Malaga, Pablo Ráez, who died from leukaemia. By telling his story on social media, there was a 1,300% increase in bone marrow donors.

His messages are all across the internet and he shared inpirational quotes that we all need in our lives. Here are several of his inspirational messages:

Nunca te puedes rendir. Todo pasa y todo llega. Lucha siempre.

You can never give up. Everything happens and everything arrives. Keep fighting.

La muerte no es triste. Lo triste es que la gente no sepa vivir

Death is not sad. What’s sad is that people don’t know how to live.

Sé feliz y disfruta de tu vida. Por cierto…¡es única!

Be happy and enjoy your life. One thing for sure....it’s unique!

More of his quotes can be read on youtube here.

Pablo, you left us, but your footprint will never leave.”
