The Club Natació Atlètic-Barceloneta hosted the central event of the Mulla't for multiple sclerosis campaign, an initiative that mobilized 110,000 people in 500 swimming pools across the Catalan territory.

The event, which aims to raise awareness about this neurodegenerative disease, saw massive participation. In the city of Barcelona alone, 18 sports facilities joined the cause, bringing together 4,000 participants who showed their support with a symbolic gesture in the water.
This campaign, which began in 1994, has become a key summer event for solidarity. The funds raised through contributions are dedicated entirely to improving patients' quality of life through neurorehabilitation and support services.
In addition to direct care for those affected, the funds are essential for promoting scientific research. The ultimate goal is to slow the progression of this condition, which currently affects 12,000 people in Catalonia, and to provide better future options for patients.
