The Maratona da Saúde is a non-profit association whose mission is to sensitize society to various diseases and to finance Science in Portugal in the Health area through the Health Marathon Awards in biomedical Research.

The 5th edition of the Maratona da Saúde is being dedicated to Autoimmune Diseases and Allergies, following previous editions that have been attributed to Cancer, Diabetes, Neurodegenerative Diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases, respectively.


The amount raised in this initiative will help fund the Health Marathon Awards in Biomedical Research, which will be awarded under the 5th Edition of the Maratona da Saúde that is being dedicated to Autoimmune Diseases (Lupus, Psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's, Type I Diabetes, among others) and Allergies.

So far, the Maratona da Saúde, in partnership with RTP and many other partners who joined this cause, raised more than 300 thousand euros. These funds are already funding 11 scientists who carry out their research work in these areas in Portugal through the Marathon Health Awards in Biomedical Research.

Science can change statistics. Join researchers working in Portugal and the Maratona da Saúde. Prevention and support for scientific research in this area are essential in the fight against these diseases.
