Prince Albert makes a surprise visit for sick children
The Prince’s surprise visit: a lovely gift which helped children from Paris, Marseille and Nice forget their illnesses for a few hours.
On the L’Albatros and Caraudelles terraces, seventy children attended the first day of the 75th Formula 1 Grand Prix on Saturday. They received a surprise visit from Prince Albert II. A few hours earlier, Stéphane Valeri, counselor for Minister of Health and Social Affairs (for a few more days) also visited the children. “The sovereign personally supports us. And Advisor Valeri does as well, since the association’s inception in 2011,” emphasized Carla Shechter. A nice gift for young people aged 10-21 with cancer, liver disease or other difficult illnesses. All the children were invited by the Monaco Liver Disorder association, whose honorary president is Princess Charlene. The dynamic founder and Vice-President, Carlo Shechter, explained: “We organized this day to give a little happiness to the children by offering them an exceptional gift. The terraces were generously made available to us. The association pays for parking for accompanying parents, a buffet, small souvenirs and gifts.”
The invitation has been offered at every Grand Prix for the past six years and the number of children grows every year. Coming from Paris, Marseille and Nice, the young people have benefited from a welcome which allowed them to fully enjoy the show.
