- By Mirella Ramos / Central do Timão Editorial

Corinthians announced an awareness campaign about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative neurological disease that gradually compromises the body's movements and still has no cure. The initiative is carried out in partnership with the Mais Por Ela Institute and seeks to increase the population's knowledge about the condition and its impacts on the lives of patients and families.

The campaign was released during the break in the football calendar due to the World Cup. Taking advantage of the period without official matches, the club used social media to promote reflection on the reality faced by people diagnosed with the disease.

In the publication, Corinthians highlighted that the temporary interruption of sporting activities can serve as a starting point to discuss a topic that still receives little visibility. The content published by the club reinforces the importance of information, awareness and support for families who live with ALS on a daily basis.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive disease that affects the neurons responsible for voluntary movements. As the disease progresses, patients may experience difficulties walking, speaking, swallowing and carrying out daily activities, requiring medical monitoring and continuous support.

Partner of the campaign, Instituto Mais Por Ela works to disseminate information about the disease, strengthen entities linked to the cause and encourage initiatives aimed at research and patient care. In addition to Brazil, the movement also develops actions in other countries in the Global South.

The initiative is part of Corinthians' history of participation in social and awareness campaigns. Through the action, the club seeks to use the reach of its fans to expand the debate on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and encourage solidarity with people affected by the disease.

Also in the publication published on social media, Corinthians highlighted the importance of giving visibility to the topic and reinforced the partnership with Instituto Mais Por Ela to expand the discussion on ALS during the period when competitions were suspended.

With the resumption of activities scheduled for July, the campaign aims to keep the issue in the spotlight and help more people learn about the challenges faced by patients and families living with the disease.
