because they are going to say this lady
ridiculous is already disguised as
cyclists but not what happens is that
as I can not load many doubts
the bicycle because I will not have any way
to stand like that with today’s disguise
I want to tell you that I toured the
perimeter of australia mounted on a
bicycle for courage for pride
love to mexico who also ended
with a little menopause but everything
it worked in my favor
good but let’s see why the courage
because traveling in australia and
He mentioned that Mexico was telling me
The following opinions in Mexico are
poverty of the country ticket so horrible and
so dangerous in which you live is
full of criminals true many
criminals and drug trafficking
more than 80 people of 80% of the
people who knew these lands
they gave horrible opinions of mexico
yes but the media
they also paid in this image
negative because they repeated obsessively
the red notes causing even fear and
dislike for me so much discussion
violent of flat mid ranch gave me
courage and in the afternoon they pulled gray
green but good I said that boyle
what am I going to do about it, not like that
angry I thought not the next person
that I repeat the same tarugada I ‘m going to
hit but then I pondered not at
while they are going to say they see how all the
Mexicans are violent says I do not have
I had to put up with it
that’s why I brought the courage crossed
for many months on this trip
I thought who to go to do
a media campaign in favor of
Mexicans or that at least show the
another face of mexico
the kind gave diverse cultural and
talented
not even to whom to turn before returning
I was in Mexico for three months
zealand and well there’s oxygen here
they are much better they are more more
sympathetic should have an opinion
different from the Mexicans and it was not worse
they can not stand anymore I said I have to do
something but I could not think of truth
nothing
until one day while traveling in
a second-hand bicycle
There is in New Zealand
the rusty chain had been registering him
in yen held in that received me
came the idea and why is not pednea is
say go long distances
spreading the good things about mexico
the bicycle is a powerful tool
I could get where I was and distribute
printed or digital information of what
best of our country
I would also do it in a healthy way
economically and sustainably and in that way
I would show you what we are capable of
Mexicans when we are bitten by gold
good but I would start to train
in new zealand proposing to get me
from a location in wellington the
capital to the north of the island in
auckland where I was going to take a flight
back to mexico
well I did it and it was horrible late more
of 30 days to travel the 937
kilometers of this route but I did it
and with an additional gain
all that courage that sent me was gone
diluting along the way
also the annoyances of that of the
menopause that is very important
if I leave them safely scattered to
through sweat for all those
infamous slopes and new slopes
zealand
I returned to Mexico very excited and
present the idea of claiming
our country to my friends who had
economic resources because it was
I need
the problem is that the cost of this
project was 50 thousand dollars and
only 33 thousand of them were for
pay an Australian agency that
supported the cycling groups
tour the farc
it’s more dangerous and savage on the island
that more than half the island does not
well my friends fear me they knew like
activist in environmental issues and
empowerment of civil society but
as a cyclist
they do not see me the case that cost them
a lot of work imagine myself in this challenge and
I am kindly talking about why not
you show that you can do this
travel in the distance that is
between 15 and sydney james that are like
three thousand kilometers in nothing else says
If you succeed then we are going to
have more justification to finance
your cause direct my cause
well then I accept the condition and I
I returned to Australia to train and
save money
I promised myself I’ll go through all the
days 20 kilometers or more it rains
thunder or lightning from day to night
with cold with heat until I achieve
accumulate those 3,000 kilometers after
six months to cover the door and I said
Berta Corte are you ready and then
I chose the famous movie bridge for
start my journey and from there I can
start my journey on February 19 ,
2012 towards the city of Cádiz in the
northeast of the island and baio concentrated in
those first 3,000 kilometers that
would be the hardest were the
fire test to get the
financing if he succeeded
then I was going to go in a group
cottons be carefully protected from
easy peasy
I was never more wrong in
about my prospects for this trip
that at that time all the props
promised for this journey they left
discarding one nothing else that I started to
roll the first the support of my wife
Australian became a fierce attack
against me
as soon as he saw that he starts to move forward
the route to the 300 kilometers demanded me
to return that if he was not going to
divorce me I would ask that I
they will take their lives away in hear of
Australia
then I understood that he always
I had bet that I was going to
fail and that
gather in the first kilometers by
that I accept that I left but why
failed second my friends who had me
offered financial support if they succeeded
the 3,000 kilometers were made eye of
ant when he achieves the goal
impossible to locate so that
respond and desperate mail
electronic plane I go and for
last the cordiality of the agency
Australian disappeared as soon as
I said it says that I still do not have the
financing from my sponsors
but I’m sure when I get to
Darwin 3,000 kilometers above
since the resource is going to arrive and I
because there we are then told
So, after having traveled
the mentioned 3,000 kilometers of having
endured the desolation east of this
unsettled climate in that territory
I lived to the limit and quiet agony arrives
which is to realize that I was alone
all alone in my project
claim to mexico and if not even
have been able to claim me as a cyclist
before my own nationals the
week it hurt me it hit me in what
deeper of course but suddenly I
I raised by pride and said first
dead to give up and now my life goes
in pledge for this challenge
if she was sick of so much hopelessness
apathy bureaucracy
if he would also make a fool of himself if he did not
I would come back and it would be my husband’s mockery
for the rest of my life
I said no no, it’s not healthy, he bought it
I did not see myself living the rest of
my life with that failure and the community
It was for decorum
it was also for mexico for love of
Mexico
I made the determination and said I’m going to
continue the route by myself and depends on
my own resources
from that moment I had no doubts
every kilometer that progressed I am
stronger mental physics and
spiritually in the idea of putting in
high the name of mexico means the
interest
to endure it all hunger tiredness
even the abandonment experience a
strength that came from my own essence
of my pure genetics from my roots and
that strength that we all have here of
our roots was what drove me
throughout the tour but the
true challenge would be to modify the
image of mexico in the minds of the
Australians
therefore before starting the
travel elaborate a flyer that
it showed all the images
extraordinary of our country
it was like an invitation to come
to visit us and check with your
own eyes the illustrated wonders
that I was showing them yes without
However good to be handing out
hand in hand
this is the steering wheel was very limited by
so I thought I had to go to
the media to have
an audience greater than that message
I touched many doors but I did not have
answer but when I insisted I discovered the
next strategy that was my hook
to be able to get this news to
favor of mexico when I came rolling
to the cities as well as here I arrived
rolling
then I was going straight to the
area to the offices of the radio press
local television to be given
just as it reaches every stinking pig
sweaty with the bicycle are charged up
the top full of mud on all sides of
that way that I did not have to
explain anything they did not tell me themselves
or daughter from where it comes pushing that
bicycle you traveled alone to your wheel to noa
cakes tell us your story is not the
positive path to enter fast and with
the Australian population also
it works the strategy works no longer
he approached them he hoped those of life
curiosity to see me like that in a state
walking around and questioning me and of
they alone pronounced the words
magical magicians who wish to strike and
Why does he do this
they asked consisting not
Then I would let myself go by my cry
about the wonders of Mexico Lo
the fun economic thing that would be coming
visit through your attention and
began distributing the flyers to
Left and right
the news hook worked and the
Australian television made very good
reports about this tour
intercalated intercalated in each of
those reports images then of the
archaeological sites of landscapes
exuberant destinations
Paradisiacs in Mexico
all this in a festive atmosphere and
colorful and musical as we really are
we do not make up image all yours
how are we really
the objective of this project had been
fulfilled put in the minds of the
Australians the beautiful and dignified image
extraordinary of our country with
ingenuity that we all have here
the Mexicans structure a campaign to
favor of mexico
along the 15 thousand 547 kilometers
around australia and distribute more
of three thousand flyers in those 187 days
of travel in more than 134 cities that
they were around those of australia
all public squares libraries
schools information centers that
they went through in my way they had to
listen to the emotional propaganda of my
mexico cute and beloved
Only I returned to Mexico in Ford
and here with this result and good
charged with energy initiatives
saying this message I started to walk
sorry to go through the 11,000
kilometers of the country’s coastline to
to infect all my countrymen and
in each of the corners that was
going through I found solidarity support
affection and sympathy for this cause
in all that journey against
real women
mind amazing men with
work success stories of
colossal resistance
all this to me proved to me that
Mexicans are really great that
we have everything and what we can do
very much rather the learning of
this journey for me was intense as
You can see it but the conclusion
it is also
I came to simply understand
that Mexico is a country of great value and
is very diverse modern generous and
it is also ancestral it deserves
let’s work and let us strive for their
greatness
let’s really promote to publish
all those talents and all the benefits
we need to be up to no
requires our country because today more
that is never because of pride and love
own but also because of loyalty
that’s my challenge that I did for Mexico and
I ask you what will be
Thank you
[Applause]
