Hallo allemaal,
Sinds januari mag ik deel uitmaken van het fantastische KickCancer Team. Onze missie? Zo veel mogelijk geld inzamelen voor onderzoek naar kinderkanker om alle kinderen met kanker te genezen 🫶
Waarom hebben we centjes nodig? Omdat kinderkankers zeldzaam zijn, waardoor kinderkanker niet winstgevend is voor de farma industrie waardoor er veel te weinig innovatief onderzoek komt.
Daardoor hebben kinderen met kanker op dit moment veel lagere overlevingskansen dan volwassenen met kanker en geven we hen behandelingen uit de jaren stillekes.
Daarom willen we met RUN TO KICK, een solidariteitsloop (die ik mee organiseer) zo veel mogelijk geld inzamelen, dit jaar mikken we op 1,5 miljoen 🤩 Dit jaar gaat al het geld naar onderzoek rond hersentumoren, de dodelijkste vorm van kinderkanker. Help jij ons mee het doel te behalen?

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?
