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 municipality's cultural life, participating in traditional activities like ball de bot with Racó de Tramuntana and being part of the Xeremiers de la Font del Gall, where he played the flabiol and the tamborí. Even today, he is a very present figure, despite his life taking a radical turn just over three years ago, when he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease with no cure that progressively weakens muscles while the mind remains intact. Since then, Eladio has been living with a harsh reality, marked by increasing dependence and uncertainty. He talks about it, and he does so with sincerity, humor, and vitality.
