One of the great applauses of the awards Martín Fierro from Radiowhich were delivered in La Rural, was taken by the journalist Emiliano Pinson (52), who went on stage to thank him for the award he won as “best sports commentator.”
After winning the shortlist over Fernando Pacini (Mitre), Martín Liberman (Late) and Sofía Martínez (Urbana Play), the journalist who works at DSPORTS Radio gave an emotional speech in which he mentioned his life with Parkinson’s.
“You can imagine it’s a very special night for me. I would have to thank many people, many who are here. First of all… to my children, Joaquín, Valentín and Victoria, who are the driving force of my life. Paula, you understood everything, despite being distanced, we know what family is and we put it together very well,” Pinsón began, to the attention of everyone present.
And, with emotion, he continued: “Three and a half years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. And yet there were many people who trusted me. I didn’t dare to say it, I was ashamed, and yet there were people from DSPORTS Radio who told me ‘ Emiliano, we want you for a program in the morning with Gastón Recondo.’ I told them ‘I have Parkinson’s.’ ‘And?’, they answered me. Those of us who have a neurological problem or any illness still have things to give.

“We don’t have to erase ourselves. We need help and we have to let ourselves be helped too”said Pinsón, with the award given by the Association of Television and Radio Journalists of Argentina (APTRA) in his hand.
And he continued: “It’s not easy to let yourself tie your shoelaces or let them cut your food… my friends, those from Castelar, do it and at first I was embarrassed but then I understood that my life had to be like that. About Parkinson’s And you don’t get out of many other diseases alone, It comes out with people, with friends, with listeners, with viewers, with the strength that they give me…”.

“I walk forward, I had no other choice. Many tell me ‘you are brave’. No, I’m not brave, I want to live. That’s why I move forward. I can’t stay in the past. The future does not depend on me, the now depends on me. And now is to be a happy guy. “I’m sick, I’m a happy guy and I’m moving forward.”expressed the also ESPN journalist.
“And that’s what I ask of all of you, to think about today, not so much about what happened. And say ‘I love you’, because the master heals, and I mean it. Thank you!”closed Pinsón, who received great applause.

Emiliano Pinsón and his work on radio
In the month of April, Pinsón announced his decision to get off the cycle Up, Damn, hosted by Gastón Recondo on DSPORTS Radio, a cycle for which he has now won the Martín Fierro, to focus on his health.
“I have little time left, no joke. Let’s try not to, statistics are always made to be broken. In general, those who have my disease end up in wheelchairs, almost speechless or with speech problems. I don’t know if that’s going to be the end of me, I hope not. I’ll try not to. “I’m going to do everything possible to make sure it doesn’t happen like that, but it can happen.”he remarked in front of the microphone that day.
Since then, the journalist has carried out his program on the radio They are saying, Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
And he also has special participations in the program More than one Cup, which runs from Monday to Friday, led by Daniel Retamozo, from 2 to 5 p.m.
