Encamp parish church of Santa Eulàlia will host a funeral mass and tribute for Toni Gamero Barrantes this Saturday, 30 May, at 4:30pm.
Gamero's family, friends and associates have organised the event to bid farewell to the broadcaster, activist and former president of Andorra's Transplant and Donor Association (ATIDA). He died on Monday after a prolonged fight against leukaemia.
The ceremony will blend a private family religious service with public acknowledgement of Gamero's advocacy work on bone marrow donation awareness. Those near to him have praised his "immense humanity", fortitude and courage in facing the disease.
Gamero became a prominent voice in Andorra for bone marrow donation, particularly following his own transplant in 2020, which he described as a "second chance at life". Leading ATIDA, he rallied support across associative, healthcare and sports sectors, leaving a lasting mark on society.
The tribute aligns symbolically with the 50th anniversary on 22 May of Spain's first bone marrow transplant—a milestone Gamero's circle sees as deeply tied to his personal battle and lifelong message of hope.
Organisers invite the public and media to attend, requesting full respect for the family and participants.
