Warmest wishes to the great Javier Novillo Astrada from the PCW community

I understand that several Argentine newspapers have recently published the news that the great Javier Novillo Astrada, who is one of the most outstanding players in the world at 9 goals, is now battling cancer. On behalf of all PCW members I'd like to offer him our warmest goodwill and our best wishes. Our hearts go out to him, his wife Delfina, his four children and the rest of the Novillo Astrada family.

I had the great pleasure of meeting with Eduardo “Taio” Novillo Astrada and Santi, Javier's first cousin, during my trip to Buenos Aires last December. Not only are they polo royalty, with the iconic club in Open Door - 'La Aguada', they are a wonderfully warm family and I know I can speak for all of us in wishing them all great strength to support Javier to a successful recovery.

I felt honored to be able to play against you. And mostly because of you , Even though you beat us by one goal ! you made the game electric.
Not only are you a fantastic player but I enjoyed your warm ,happy and " Go for it " energy.
I beg of you to try EFT... if you go on line.. you will read all about it. It stands for Emotional Freedom Techique and has the most amazing and positive results. You can do it on yourself easily. It really does work. If you need any information on it. email me and I will call you and explain more in detail. But everything is found on line. This EFT can certainly cure you .
From the bottom of my heart , Javier. I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Nicole; ▶ Reply to This

We know this family quite well, and we love the Novillo’s polo way of playing and we know how wonderful people they are, so we support all the good wishes sent to him in this page and all the prayers for his sake and recovery. The sons of Taio and Veronica are amongst the best players in this country, and they are one of the few teams to behave always as gentlemen. I find that Javier is quite courageous and a valiant guy, he will overcome his brain tumour with God’s help and all the support that he is receiving everywhere, including in PCW, which shows that still are people with sense and sensibility, Dolores; ▶ Reply to This
