Nerja Classic Car and Vehicle Charity Rally for Nahel

On Saturday, 11 April, the locals will come together in Nerja to raise money for a young boy with IRF2BPL.

The event, ‘I Concentración Benéfica por la Sonrisa de Nahel’, will be held at Llano del Mercadillo in Nerja, with entry set at €5. The organizers say that the goal is to help Nahel continue his fight and raise support for him.

The story behind this event has touched many in the region. David, Nahel’s father, was part of the group since the beginning. The rally is a means of giving back to the family at a difficult time.

The rare disease can worsen with time

Nahel is suffering from IRF2BPL. A very rare condition, it can affect the brain and cause children to gradually lose skills such as movement, speech, and walking. The family’s wider fundraising campaign, ‘Por La Sonrisa de Nahel’, says a clinical trial already exists in the United States, but raising the money needed remains a major challenge.

The wider appeal has received strong support. At the time of writing, the campaign’s GoFundMe page had raised €8,516 of a €9,000 target, showing the level of support already building around the cause.

Nerja is expected to attract vehicle enthusiasts, supporters and locals for a community-focused day. The gathering will attract not only those who are taking part but also residents and tourists in the town.

The event is aimed at raising funds to help families facing challenges.

The Llano del Mercadillo, one of Nerja’s most popular public spaces, is a place where locals gather to attend fairs, markets and other events. It’s a perfect location for a charity event that aims to bring people together for a visible display of support. The organizers say that every donation counts, and they have stressed the fact that no family should be forced to face such a difficult battle alone. The event is also being promoted through the social media accounts @porlasonrisadenahel, @daviliyo_navas and @yleeniafl.

This charity event is a combination of a love for motors, and a local cause that has been well received. It will be an opportunity for many to help a family and child facing a difficult challenge. Location, Llano del Mercadillo, Nerja, with entry €5.
