Charity running events are being organized across Brazil and Portugal to support various social and medical causes.

In Brazil, initiatives include the ‘Corra por Elas’ race in Campo Grande to support the ‘August Lilás’ campaign against violence toward women, and the ‘Corrida Florescer’ in Limeira to benefit people with intellectual and multiple disabilities through APAE Limeira. Additionally, the ‘Vida e Movimento’ race in São José do Rio Preto is scheduled to benefit the Pediatric Oncology sector of the Hospital da Criança e Maternidade.

In Portugal, the Instituto Português de Oncologia (IPO Porto) is organizing its third annual charity run and walk in Porto. The event aims to fund the ‘Dr. Guimarães dos Santos Research Grant’ to support oncology research projects.
