A day to be cherished in the memory of young Davi Luiz da Silva Ramilo Vieira, 9 years old. Battling brain cancer, the boy had a dream of visiting Gávea and watching a FlaMaster training session. With the help of his parents, Wallas and Marina, this became possible on Thursday afternoon (06).
A resident of Miracema, Davi came to Rio de Janeiro thinking he was going for a routine exam. However, the young Flamengo fan only discovered what was really happening when he arrived and saw the red and black walls of Gávea up close.
After touring the facilities of Estádio José Bastos Padilha, inaugurated on September 4, 1938, Davi stepped onto the field, kicked the ball around, and chatted with FlaMaster idols. In the end, he was moved to receive a jersey autographed by the red and black legends.
— It was a very important moment for us, it was one of Davi’s dreams to visit Gávea, we didn’t expect to step onto the field and be received with such warmth, it was a unique moment that will be forever marked in our hearts! And we even received a beautiful official FlaMaster jersey autographed by all the stars. What a magical moment for our boy! First of all, I thank God, our friend Leandro França, Davi’s coach Thalles Benazio and his father Cézar Benazio. To FlaMaster, my deepest thanks! It was an incredible day — said the emotional mother.
— FlaMaster is not just about football. When we heard about the story of our little friend Davi, who is facing a terrible illness, we were touched and made sure to welcome him here at Gávea to gift him a jersey autographed by the players. On behalf of FlaMaster, we are certain he will overcome these challenges and we wish him luck with his treatment — said the president of FlaMaster and Flamengo idol, Andrade.
Júlio César Uri Geller echoed his colleague: “FlaMaster could not fail to support little big Davi in his fight against this illness. Knowing that he is a Flamengo fan and left-footed, I have no doubt that he will come out victorious in this match of his life and, in the future, will wear the number 10 for Mengão,” joked Júlio César Uri Geller, vice president of FlaMaster.
In summary, little Davi has already returned to Miracema, a city located 271 kilometers from the capital of Rio de Janeiro. On the 24th of this month, he returns to Rio to continue his treatment with chemotherapy sessions at the Paulo Niemeyer State Brain Institute (IEC). Therefore, Coluna do Fla wishes the boy good health.
