Last Sunday (23), Mengão beat Vasco 3-0 and secured a place in the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca Feminino, but that wasn't the only reason to celebrate: the Meninas da Gávea traveled 119,81 km at the start, which generated a donation of R$5.990,50 to the Protea Institute. This amount will cover exams, consultations, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other breast cancer treatments for low-income women.

The initiative was carried out in partnership with the Km Solidário app, which connects people who practice physical activities with people, projects, and companies that seek to contribute to reducing social and economic inequality in Brazil. For every kilometer covered on the field by Flamengo's soccer players in the match against Vasco, R$50,00 was paid to support the Pink October cause. In addition, the club will also send a Sacred Mantle autographed by the athletes.

Want to donate? It's simple! Just access the app @kmsolidarioapp, choose your preferred institution, start your physical activity, and that's it! Download the Km Solidário app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), follow the action, and help!
