Princess Charlene’s brother took part in the third P\u00e9tanque Challenge organised by Monaco Liver Disorder, in aid of the neonatal unit at Cochin Hospital in Paris.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend, the Monegasque P\u00e9tanque Club in Cap d\u2019Ail hosted the third edition of the charity tournament organised by Monaco Liver Disorder (MLD). Among the fourteen teams taking part, the Princess Charlene Foundation of Monaco team \u2013 including Gareth Wittstock<\/a> \u2013 and last year\u2019s winners, did not manage to retain their title but still finished on the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SGP-S\u00e9curit\u00e9 team from Beaulieu, made up of Yves Roux, Moncef and Marcio Dos Santos, won the tournament ahead of the side formed by Nathalie Nardone, Jean-Pascal Dominici and Franck Albano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds to improve the daily lives of healthcare staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The event raised \u20ac10,000, all of which will be donated to the neonatal unit headed by Professor Olivier Baud at Cochin Port-Royal. The funds will finance renovation of the kitchen and staff break room for healthcare workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Carla Fadoul Shechter, founding president of MLD, the event has a dual objective: supporting medical research while offering families affected by the disease an opportunity for togetherness away from the hospital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
