Asociación Adán González Muñoz
United against childhood cancer
We fund research and support families in the fight against childhood cancer
Discover our storyOur Story
It all begins with Adán's passion for football. From the youngest age, Adán played on the teams in his hometown, Montcada i Reixac. He was happy, whether training, competing or playing in the park with his friends.
In 2021 he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which put an end to his dreams. Treatments began, surgeries, relapses and recoveries. He finally lost his last match and in 2023 passed away, but not before having given everything, as he always did on the field.
During his time at Club Base Montcada, Adán met Daniel Busquets, the club's Director of Football. Their beginnings were tough, because Busy, as we call him, works intensely to instil values of teamwork, commitment and effort. Adán admired and appreciated him — the feeling was mutual.
Months later, Busy, inspired by his memory, proposed organising a tournament in his name. "Adán González" would become the first charity football tournament in Montcada to raise funds and support childhood cancer research. In 2024, the first edition was a resounding success, both financially and socially. The people of our city rallied behind our cause, which encouraged us to found the Asociación Adán González Muñoz and to keep working to raise funds and help defeat one single opponent: childhood cancer.

We connect families with psychological and practical support resources from the moment of diagnosis.
Awareness
We organise talks and events so people know how little is invested in researching cancer in children.
What research centres say
Donations reach research centres. This is what they have to say.
Vall d'Hebron Hospital Research Team
"Thanks to the donations received from the association, we have been able to dedicate more resources to researching new therapies for childhood osteosarcoma. Without the support of initiatives like this, many of these studies would not go ahead."
Our Mission
We work on three fronts:
- Raise funds to finance childhood cancer research at leading hospitals.
- Raise awareness about the shortage of public and private resources allocated to childhood cancer research.
- Support patients and families with information about available resources and help them find professional support during treatment.
Our Vision
Childhood cancer is classified as a rare disease and, consequently, receives little investment in research. In many cases, it is the families who take on the responsibility of funding this much-needed research.
Only through more research will we achieve:
- Better diagnostics to determine more effective treatments
- Prevent and reduce the adverse effects of current therapies
- Develop new treatments that are less invasive and more personalised
The goal is clear: cure more and better, until all affected children and adolescents overcome the disease and can live normal lives.
