Encamp will hold a funeral mass and tribute for Toni Gamero this Saturday, May 30, at 4:30 p.m. in the Santa Eulàlia parish church.
Family, friends, and Gamero's close circle have organized the event to honour the communicator, activist, and former president of the Andorran Transplants and Donors Association (ATIDA). He passed away on Monday following a long battle with leukaemia.
The ceremony will serve as both a family farewell in a religious setting and public recognition of his social commitment, particularly his efforts to raise awareness about bone marrow donation. Gamero became one of Andorra's most prominent voices on the issue after receiving a transplant in 2020, which he described as a second chance at life. His leadership at ATIDA and outreach left a lasting impact in associative, health, and sports sectors.
Organizers highlighted his immense humanity, strength, and courage in facing illness. The event coincides with the 50th anniversary of Spain's first bone marrow transplant on May 22, a milestone they see as especially relevant to Gamero's personal struggle and lifelong message.
All are welcome, including the public and media, though organizers request maximum respect for the family and attendees.
