Ik ben Ellen, mama van één van de superhelden op de 5e verdieping in het UZ Gent. Helaas vecht onze kleine held sinds januari tegen een hersentumor, een medulloblastoom verwikkeld in de kleine hersenen. Ook heeft Lowieke meerdere uitzaaiingen in zijn nekje. Na een complexe hersenoperatie waarbij een gedeelte van de tumor niet kon worden verwijderd, kreeg Lowie het komende jaar een erg zwaar behandelingsplan van verschillende chemo's en bestraling voorgelegd. Ik loop heel graag de 10km om samen met mijn mede-lotgenoten geld in te zamelen voor Kick Cancer!

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?
Veel sterkte!
♥️
Ik kan me niet voorstellen wat jullie doormaken... Zoveel moed en kracht gewenst!
Een kindje zo ziek zien breek je moederhart en laat je machteloos aan de zijlijn staan.
