In the second year of the coronavirus pandemic, the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe will hold its traditional gala event, once again, in a virtual way. The Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Gala 2021 \u2013 10 years: celebrating science and life<\/strong> will be streamed on the institution\u2019s YouTube channel at 7 p.m. on October 22nd<\/sup>. In addition to celebrating science and life, this edition also commemorates ten years of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Gala proposes the union of high gastronomy and solidarity as a way to strengthen the cause of children\u2019s health. In this edition, the patron and curator of the event, chef Claude Troisgros, will share and execute a recipe that can be prepared at home by the participants. He will also be joined by another renowned chef. Philanthropic supporters Daniele Giacomazzi Behring and Amalia Spinardi Thompson Motta continue mobilizing their networks on behalf of the institution. Scientists and health professionals also participate in the event, sharing relevant content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scientific honoree of this edition will be the physician and researcher Bonald Cavalcante de Figueiredo, who is ahead of the Pel\u00e9 Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Research Institute and dedicates his career to studies of genetic mutations responsible for the development of different types of cancer. The social honorees will be businessman Sergio Gordilho and Fernanda Valente, who have developed an important work of communication for social causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing this challenging reality that imposes itself on our institution with another year of pandemic, we want to invite our supporters once again to celebrate science and the life of our boys and girls. More than ever, this is the time to exalt and invest in science \u2013 which will show the ways to overcome it \u2013 and in healthcare, which has been working hard to save so many lives impacted by SARS-CoV-2,\u201d emphasizes the executive director of the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Hospital, Ety Cristina Forte Carneiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will end with a musical performance to be announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact<\/strong>
In these ten years, the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Gala has been responsible for raising about US$ 4.8 million, which has been addressed to the advancement of the healthcare practices, besides financing research projects which look for answers to the main complex childhood diseases, such as cancer, rare diseases and, more recently, COVID-19. These are resources that have been transformed into diagnoses and treatments for thousands of boys and girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engagement of society in the Gala benefits, for example, children and adolescents like Guilherme Vin\u00edcius dos Santos Ribeiro, 13, who left Recife to undergo a bone marrow transplant (BMT) at the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe in search of a cure for a rare disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the transplant, the boy had complications, such as infections caused by different bacteria and viruses. The success of the treatment depended on an imported and high-cost drug that is not provided by the Public Health System (SUS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With funds raised by Gala, the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe was able to acquire the medication, which costs about US$ 1,400 each ampoule, totaling US$ 7,000 for the treatment. \u201cWhen he started treating with this medication, the infections went away. My son stopped feeling pain, and the BMT was a success. Now, six months after the transplant, Guilherme is living a normal life. He can play, go to school and develop like any other child,\u201d celebrates his mother, Anne Priscila Ferreira dos Santos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
