In a night full of solidarity and hope, more than 600 people gathered at the emblematic Poble Espanyol in Barcelona to support the fight against cancer.
The charity gala, organized by Asociación Contra el Cáncer in Barcelona, was an event full of emotions and commitment, which culminated with an extraordinary collection of 345,000 euros to promote research and support for patients and families affected by this disease.
Hosted by journalist and volunteer of the Association, Elisenda Camps, the gala began with an emotional video with the participation of celebrities, health professionals, volunteers and most importantly, patients and families affected by cancer.
This collective testimony served as a reminder of the profound impact this disease has on the lives of so many people and as an inspiration to continue fighting for a future without cancer.
The highlight of the evening was the dialogue between the presenter and Dr. Laureano Molins, president of the Association Against Cancer in Barcelona. Dr. Molins stressed the importance of working towards the ambitious goal of 70% cancer survival by 2030.
To achieve this goal, he emphasized the need to invest in prevention, research and comprehensive support for patients and their families. His speech resonated with the audience, renewing his commitment to the cause.

The evening concluded with a lively dance session, enlivened by the group The Tutsies, and an acrobatic performance symbolizing the journey of a person with cancer from the moment of diagnosis. These moments of celebration and camaraderie demonstrated that even in the midst of adversity, hope and joy can flourish.
