In Pollença, Eladio Lorente is one of those people everyone knows. Always with a joke ready, with a kind word, and with that approachable way of being that makes him especially loved. For years, he has been very involved in the cultural life of the municipality, he has participated in traditional activities such as the ball de bot with Racó de Tramuntana and has been part of the Xeremiers de la Font del Gall, where he played the flabiol and the tambourine. Even today he is a very present figure, although his life took a radical turn just over three years ago, when he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neurodegenerative disease that progressively weakens the muscles while the mind remains intact. Since then, Eladio has been living with a harsh reality, marked by growing dependence and uncertainty. He talks about it, and he does so with sincerity, humor, and vitality.
