The Créixer program by the BCN PID Foundation is much more than just a program — it's a space to grow in values, strength, and balance.

Last week, we had the privilege of sharing a very special day with Florian Trittel, Olympic sailor and gold medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games — a true example of resilience. In the unique setting of the Municipal Sailing Center, Florian gave a deep and inspiring talk to adolescents and young people.

He spoke about the culture of effort, mental peace, and the importance of maintaining emotional balance, comparing the demands of high-performance sports with the daily challenges of living with a PID. A powerful parallel that made us reflect.

We ended the gathering with a shared snack and a very special boat ride around the area, sailing on the center’s boats.

A heartfelt thank-you to Florian Trittel, the Municipal Sailing Center for hosting us, and the Jeffrey Modell Foundation for their continued support.
