Talat helps us with environmental sustainability in Formentera by sponsoring the reusable cups and jerry cans for the XXI Swimming Tour around Formentera against Cystic Fibrosis.
Your sponsorship helps us to consolidate our commitment to environmental sustainability as reflected in our code of ethics.
XXI Swimming Tour around Formentera against Cystic Fibrosis
This new edition comes after a one-year break forced by the pandemic. It does not do it in the same conditions as in previous editions, but with the same illusion on the part of the Organization to make a unique and exclusive event. Therefore, we want to thank more than ever the support and confidence of TALAT and for helping us to materialize actions that improve the environment.

What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic, serious and degenerative disease that to date has no cure.
It mainly affects the respiratory, digestive, reproductive and sweat glands.
You can see the infographic published by the Cystic Fibrosis Spanish Federation in this link or see how Dani tells us what this disease is for him in this vídeo.
Currently, more than 2,000 mutations are known to cause the disease.
Statistics show that 1 in 5,000 people in Spain has Cystic Fibrosis (1 in 6,400 in the Balearic Islands) and 1 in 35 people is a carrier of a gene that causes the disease.
In the Balearic Islands there are 73 known diagnosed cases, but statistics speak of between 85 and 90 possible cases.
The awareness project of the Respiralia Foundation aims to raise awareness of this disease in order to discover those cases of people who have Cystic Fibrosis but have not yet been diagnosed.
