Good news: “A good character makes a champion in the heart of the fans,” said the president of the FIM about Marc Márquez after the pilot built a school for orphans.
In a deeply human gesture that has moved the entire motorcycle community, the multiple world champion Marc Márquez has financed and supervised the construction of a school for orphaned children in its hometown, Cervera. This action has been widely celebrated by fans, social organizations and sports personalities, who stand out not only the pilot’s talent on the track, but also his big heart out of it.
The president of the International Motorcycle Federation (FIM) did not take long to praise the pilot: “A good character makes a champion in the heart of fans,” he said publicly, stressing that Márquez’s actions are an example of how true champions are also in everyday life, not only in circuits.
The school, which will bear the name of “Marc Márquez School”, aims to provide free and quality education to more than 200 children in vulnerability. The project includes modern classrooms, a library, a small sports center and spaces for emotional and psychological support. Everything has been designed with the focus of creating a safe and full of opportunities for the little ones.
Márquez explained in a recent interview that this initiative was born from the desire to return something to society and, in particular, those children who have not had the same opportunities as him. “I have had a lucky life thanks to the motorcycling and support of many people. Now I feel that it is time to support those who need it most,” he said with humility.
The news quickly went viral in social networks and international media, generating thousands of positive comments. Many followers stressed that these types of gestures show the true essence of sports idols and that actions such as Márquez inspire others to use their fame and resources for noble causes.
Several former partners and rivals of the pilot also demonstrated with messages of admiration and respect. Among them, Valentino Rossi wrote in his networks: “Beyond the rivalries, these types of acts speak of the true character of a person. Congratulations, Marc.”
With this action, Marc Márquez has not only left an indelible mark on the world of motorcycling, but also in the lives of hundreds of children who now have a new opportunity thanks to their generosity. It is a clear reminder that the true legacy of a champion is measured both by the titles won and the positive impact it leaves on others.
