And most importantly, the race! Runners will have the choice of running 1km, 3km, or 5km.

Why

Casa Maria Helena is a cancer shelter where patients from all over Brazil come to São Paulo to receive treatment. It brings financial support to the patient’s treatment and provides them with a home during their needed stay in São Paulo. The money collected from the run will be used to provide treatments, medical appointments, operations and much-needed comfort to the sick individuals fighting for their lives. Last year, Graded’s Run Against Cancer raised almost R$14,000 for Casa Maria Helena. In addition to the basic needs of the center, this donation funded a brand new leisure center on the roof of the charity, entitled “Futebol na laje”.
