The town of Benalmádena is preparing to host the traditional charity walk organized by the Cudeca Foundation, a crucial event for raising funds that enable the organization to continue providing free and professional palliative care. The event will take place on Saturday, May 23, at the Arroyo de la Miel fairgrounds, a larger venue designed to accommodate more participants.
Under the motto 'Walk to care at the end of life,' the day will begin at 09:30 AM, with the walk scheduled to start at 10:30 AM. A single, accessible 7-kilometer route has been designed to allow people of all ages to participate, promoting family involvement and inclusivity. This year, the event aims to offer a renewed and more accessible experience for all attendees.
“"The Cudeca walk is an opportunity for society to actively engage in palliative care. Participating is much more than walking: it is accompanying, it is supporting, and it is making it possible for us to continue caring for those who need it most."
Beyond the sporting aspect, the walk is conceived as a festive and participatory day. After the route, attendees can enjoy a full program of activities including live music, a charity bar, a raffle, a Holi color festival, and a solidarity paella. All of this will take place in an atmosphere designed for enjoyment and contribution to a common cause: supporting those most in need.
Registrations are now available online through the Entradium platform, costing 12 euros for adults and 8 euros for children. The registration includes a 'welcome pack' with a t-shirt, water, fruit, and Holi powder. Those who cannot attend can collaborate through the 'Fila 0' by making a donation. The funds raised are vital for maintaining free palliative care programs and comprehensive support for cancer patients and those with other advanced illnesses, as well as their families.
The Cudeca Foundation, a non-profit organization, has been providing professional and free palliative care since 1992. Since its founding, the entity has assisted over 23,000 patients and 31,500 family members, offering home care, day unit services, hospitalization, and specialized teams for psychosocial support, pediatrics, and physiotherapy. In 2025, the foundation cared for 1,950 people and supported nearly 2,400 family members.
