The ninth edition of the L'Escala Women's Race focused on raising funds for the investigation of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) syndrome, a rare disease that affects approximately one in 2,500 people.
The final figure of 13,113.18 euros surpasses all previous editions of the event, thanks to 1,102 registrations and additional donations from people who could not participate in the race held in 2025.
“"This money will be entirely allocated to the Vall d'Hebron hospital to boost research into this rare syndrome."
The solidarity mobilization of the municipality and neighboring towns was carried out to support Joel Ruiz, a five-year-old boy residing in L'Escala who lives with Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome.
Since its first edition, the Women's Race has raised a total of 74,956.43 euros, dedicating the funds each year to different causes such as cancer, gender violence, or multiple sclerosis.
