Brussels Marathon to kill Cancer

Hi all!

As an occasional runner I decided last year to push my own limits and participate once a year for the next 10 years to a different Marathon.

Good news is that you don’t have to train or run! But I need your support to beat cancer and help these children.

About KickCancer:
KickCancer is the story of a Belgian happily blended family living with humour, love and small daily joys until the frightening day when they are told one of their children, Raphaël, then almost nine, has cancer. A tumour located in the foot called rhabdomyosarcoma – an indigestible name quickly changed into “foot cancer”.
It is the story of a family, which faces the first round of treatments with lousy jokes because it is sometimes best just to laugh and to keep one’s chin up. Of a family, which, after a whole year of chemotherapy, reaches the Holy Grail of complete remission and is headed back to normal life, ready to leave behind, but not to forget, their past misfortune.
But it is also the story of a family, which encounters cancer again after two years of respite, with a nasty relapse. Motivated to do more, they embark on an in-depth research effort, learning that all the reassuring innovations one hears about cancer in the news… are for adults only (!) and do not benefit to the children with cancer. And thus, they come to the conclusion that they have to act.
Hence the creation of KickCancer!
KickCancer is a public interest foundation and its strategy has always been to foster a European ambition for research in paediatric oncology as today most research occurs at a national without benefiting from other countries innovations.
