Affected myasthenia perform the Camino de Santiago to give visibility to the disease

Gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease and that, unfortunately, is quite unknown to many people in today's society. The disease, which is characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal muscles, increases during periods of activity and decreases after rest periods.

The expedition will enter the Galician capital coinciding with the National Day gravis. Collaborators two primary care physicians will be found.Everyone can collaborate in the initiative, sharing messages of support through #juntoshaciendocamino hashtag on Twitter.
