Note of Mourning
The Transiciones Association and the wheelchair basketball athletes deeply mourn the passing of dear friend Marta Juliana Canel de Acajabón, a distinguished sports leader, wheelchair basketball athlete, and a woman who provided invaluable support to the development of this sport in Guatemala.
We deeply recognize her dedication and commitment to advancing adaptive sports and promoting inclusion in our country, helping to pave the way and create opportunities for people with disabilities.
Her devotion, passion, and support for wheelchair basketball left a significant mark on all of us who are part of this movement. Her legacy will remain in the history of adaptive sports in Guatemala and in the hearts of those who had the opportunity to know her and share moments with her.
We extend our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, friends, colleagues, and to all those who mourn her passing today.
We are grateful for and honor her tremendous support, dedication, and commitment to adaptive sports.
May she rest in peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire future generations of athletes.
