The May Cross event in the Marbella neighborhood of Las Albarizas will raise funds for an 8-year-old boy with leukemia.

Enrique Rodríguez, the Councilor for Citizen Participation of the Marbella City Council, presented today the May Cross of the Las Albarizas Neighborhood Association, which this year has joined forces with the Fernando Magallanes AMPA of the CEIP Santa Teresa to organize a charity event. The proceeds will go to Ángel, an eight-year-old student from the school who is currently undergoing treatment for leukemia. Rodríguez explained that the event will take place at Ramón Martínez Square, next to the Ciudad de Marbella theater, starting at 12:00 PM, and will feature performances by Araceli González, D'Jarana, local dance schools María la Flamenca, Alba Donoso, and the Gema Piña group. For the little ones, there will be children's entertainment provided by Mimosín, as well as a charity bar with affordable prices for all attendees. Additionally, the event will have the charitable collaboration of the Cultural Veterans collective, as detailed by the councilor.

Rodríguez thanked the involvement of all participating groups and highlighted the social value of this initiative. In this regard, he noted that "this year the May Cross has a very special meaning, as we not only recover a deeply rooted tradition, but we also do it with a charitable purpose, supporting a family going through a difficult situation." For her part, the president of the neighborhood association, Josefa Carrasco, expressed her hope that the citizens will respond and collaborate, "because it is an urgent need for this child."

"Ángel is undergoing treatment and his situation requires support, especially since his mother had to stop working to take care of him, and with this activity, we want to continue adding help"

Likewise, the representative of the AMPA, Patricia Marcos, pointed out that various charitable initiatives have been carried out for months, such as installing donation boxes in shops and in the educational center itself, as well as food collection campaigns. "Ángel is undergoing treatment and his situation requires support, especially since his mother had to stop working to take care of him, and with this activity, we want to continue adding help," she said.
