Breast cancer survivor sees Corinthians at Arena with her son | OneFootball

Corinthians, with a goal from midfielder Maycon, defeated Atlético-MG last Saturday night, October 18, at Neo Química Arena, by 1-0, in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The three points meant that Alvinegro finished the round in 11th place with 36 points (nine wins, nine draws, and 11 losses).

The match was special for Renata Gomes Benhossi, who, at the invitation of Corinthians, had the opportunity to watch her beloved team's first game at the Arena alongside her son Lucas. She recently overcame breast cancer, and Alvinegro, through the “Jogando Junto” campaign and in reference to the World Day for the Fight Against Breast Cancer (celebrated every October 19), made her dream come true.

The video, approximately four minutes long, was released by Corinthians on its YouTube channel. In it, Renata celebrates the opportunity to watch the Alvinegro match alongside her son—following the team's entire warm-up and then watching the game from the Fiel Torcedor Suite—emphasizing the need and importance of breast cancer prevention.

“Live for today and live this very special day that the Corinthians club has given me. Seeing Lucas, who has always been in all my prayers, every day of his mother's fight. Mom always looked out for him and really wanted to see him grow up. So, seeing him grow up and walk onto our field, with our beloved team. And today, you can. Give me this gift, be here as part of this campaign which is so important. These important campaigns, like this one that Corinthians brings, for us to be together, let's go together. This is very important to always keep in mind that prevention is very important. Very important,” she began.

Between August and October, Corinthians joined the “Jogando Junto” campaign through partnerships with Instituto Alok and SAS Brasil Saúde. Her son was also able to walk onto the field with midfielder Maycon, the scorer of the Corinthians victory.

“I was fortunate to discover my diagnosis very early, in a routine exam. I felt absolutely nothing, I was in an extremely productive phase of my life, very young. Because I was responsible with my exams, I managed and I won. So, if there is anyone at this moment, I invite you to play together and participate in the Corinthians campaigns, which will be available to you, with dates. So that together, we can stop being just a statistic. Let's go together,” she said.

Now, Corinthians will return to the field for the Brazilian Championship this Saturday, October 25, at 4pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 30th round of the national competition, at Estádio do Barradão.
