This weekend, from May 8 to May 10, Marbella will host the second edition of the charity padel tournament 'Nicolás Corazón Fuerte', an initiative aimed at raising funds to support the treatments of Nicolás Fernández, a young boy from San Pedro who suffers from a very aggressive brain tumor. The Sports Councilor, Lisandro Vieytes, highlighted that "today we present a sports event that we are particularly excited to collaborate on" and emphasized that the event will take place "in magnificent facilities with the goal of continuing to support Nicolás’ therapies."

He also noted that the City Council supports this edition both logistically and by contributing the t-shirts included in the 'welcome pack'. "Marbella is a very sporty city, but also very supportive, and I am sure it will once again fully engage in this initiative," he stated, encouraging citizens and fans to participate and adding that "we are also working on other projects related to this cause." Meanwhile, the general manager of the Real Club de Pádel Marbella, Raquel Canca, thanked the City Council and the event organizers "for the support they provide to Nicolás" and stressed that "the club will always support these types of actions."

The tournament organizer, Silvia García, on the other hand, explained that the competition will start on Friday and that registrations will remain open until Wednesday at 8:00 PM. "We already have 70 pairs registered and hope to reach 90," she indicated, detailing that all proceeds will go to the 'Nicolás Corazón Fuerte' association. Finally, Damián Fernández, the boy's father, thanked all the collaborating entities and the local businesses for their involvement, "which are fully supporting us."
