It all began in July 2024, when a girl with a radiant smile came to visit us at IRB Barcelona. It was Anna. Anna Bacardit

She and her friend Elies were looking for a research centre specializing in cancer to which they could direct the donations from a very special series of charity concerts they planned to organize. A cancer patient who holds us in high regard had spoken well of us to them. We thought it was a brilliant idea.

Anna loves music and works at Canada, the prestigious agency that produces music videos for Rosalía and Rigoberta Bandini.

Three years ago, when she was only 28, Anna's life suddenly changed: she was diagnosed with breast cancer with metastasis to the bones and liver.

But Anna is a woman of action and never gives up. While undergoing her medical treatment, she and her friends organized a series of intimate concerts in her courtyard. Radio Pati was born and quickly became an unexpected success. This beautiful story of friendship and solidarity appeared on TV, radio, and in newspapers. Donation by donation, Anna and her friends have already raised more than €20,000!

Anna has become a symbol. A symbol of how unfair it is that cancer enters our lives without warning, shattering everything. Threatening our future and leaving us unable to wait any longer. Stealing the lives of so many people we love.

A symbol also of commitment to research through action. Because Anna knows that research is the only realistic way to end cancer. And that we will only achieve this if we all get involved.
