Rafael Nadal and Pau Gasol are among the most representative sportsmen in Spain and they are always ready to help their country.

Both Rafa and Pau have already made their donations to help the institutions to fight the Coronavirus pandemic and they want to do more.

The world no.2 wants to give a significant boost to help the Red Cross to release the following message:

“You have always had understanding with us when things have not gone well, but when things have gone well you have always been there celebrating with all of us our joy.

I think that athletes are what we are in large part thanks to your support, and now is the time that athletes cannot fail you. That’s why I decided to call my friend Pau. Together we came to the conclusion of starting this initiative to which we trust that all Spanish sport will unite and give a good example of unity.

We’re teaming up with the Red Cross Respond project. In this project the Red Cross is supplying medical equipment, they are building hospital infrastructures, they are helping the most vulnerable families, and they are also creating accommodation for special groups and many other things.

The objective is clear: To get 11 million Euros for helping 1,350,000 people. We trust that all Spanish sports will come together and support the initiative to achieve our goal. Pau and I have already made our donation. We rely on you because surely this is going to be our best victory.”
