Prince Albert participates in 4th march for Pediatric Cancer
On Friday 15 February, The Prince’s Palace was illuminated with a beautiful orange color for the ‘4th Symbolic March’ organized by the Flavien Foundation as part of the International Day of Pediatric Cancers and Rare Diseases. Many children, their parents and political figures from Monaco gathered around HSH Prince Albert and Denis Maccario to support the work of the Flavian Foundation. Orange is the colour chosen by the Foundation in memory of Denis Maccario’s little boy Flavien (as it was his favorite colour). The Flavien Foundation fights pediatric cancers and rare diseases that affect 2,500 children each year in France and Monaco.
