Hi my name is Alice and I have been running for 25 years. I just love it! For me, it is the pleasure to run with someone or share a meal at the end of the race that makes it fun. For the last three years, I have been the lucky mum of happy Lily, adding a pram or a balance bike to my runs. As a family, we would like to add something else this year: we want to raise awareness - and funds ;-) - for research around pediatric cancers and adapted treatments.
We parents wanna give the best education, experience, toys to our children... we also need to invest in giving them the best chance to kick cancer.
We do not talk about it enough because the topic is hard to handle, this is why kick cancer is doing a fantastic job!! kudos to them and help Lily and I rase funds for this race!

We have a mission. A beautiful mission. We want to cure every child with cancer.

Find new treatments, improve existing ones, and kick children’s cancer to send it far, far away forever and may it never come back! We therefore financially support scientific research, and bring together the drive, inspiration and knowledge of everyone involved. From researchers, doctors and parents to politicians and pharmaceutical companies. Only a joint effort can ensure that children with cancer are cured and better cured.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, 100% of the funds raised by you will finance innovative research projects selected thanks to the European FIGHT KIDS CANCER initiative.

FIGHT KIDS CANCER is a European call for projects that we launched together with Imaginefor Margo (France) and Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner (Luxembourg).

Our second FIGHT KIDS CANCER call for projects lead to the selection, by independent international experts, of 5 new innovative research projects of European scope for a total amount of 3,45 million euros of which KickCancer will finance 800 000 €. Through these projects, we hope to foster improvements in the knowledge and treatment of the following diseases: B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (clinical trial), ewing's sarcomas (clinical trial), medulloblastomas (translational project), neuroblastomas (2 translational projects).

There is ONE EXTRA project we would love to tell you more about… but we need to raise more funds than initially planned. Are you in to help us reach one million euros to fund this mystery project?
