Luzón Foundation's 'Me Siento Cerca' Empty Chair Story Raises ALS Awareness

The Luzón Foundation partnered with Ogilvy Barcelona to create a poignant campaign titled 'Me Siento Cerca,' focusing on ALS patients' daily struggles. Using an empty chair, the campaign features real-life patient Pepe Tarriza, sharing an emotional, first-person story that highlights the disease's impact and the care provided. The initiative aims to raise awareness and increase visibility for those living with ALS, a condition without a cure. By emphasizing the emotional journey of the patient and the support system, the campaign seeks to foster empathy and understanding. The campaign's use of an empty chair symbolizes the absence of a cure, while the patient's story underscores the importance of connection and care. By showcasing the everyday challenges of ALS, the initiative aims to inspire compassion and drive awareness. The campaign's success lies in its ability to humanize the disease and highlight the resilience of those affected.
