I run for them. I run for my sons. I run for hope.
This year, I’ll be running the 20 km of Brussels in support of Run To Kick Cancer.
It’s thanks to my sons, Alban (2 and a half years old) and Come (6 months old), that I started running.
When I became a dad, I wanted to get back in shape, have more energy, and most importantly, be there to watch them grow up for as long as possible. So I started simply: running with them in a stroller.
Kilometer after kilometer, running became much more than a sport. It became a reminder of how lucky we are to watch our children grow up healthy and a thought for all the families facing the unimaginable battle against childhood cancer.
No child should ever have to go through that. Research needs to move forward. To give children and their families more treatment options, more chances, and more hope.
That’s why I’m running these 20 kilometers today. And to take part, I also have a fundraising goal to help support pediatric cancer research.
Every donation matters, big or small. Every euro can help advance research and give more children a chance to recover.
If you can, please support this cause that means so much to me. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this message can already make a real difference.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

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.
Your gift helps fund either a research project selected by KickCancer, in line with strict evaluation criteria, or our advocacy and awareness activities. Every new research project, policy milestone or patient empowerment initiative contributes to what truly matters: better treatments, more innovation and real hope for children, adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer.
Through FIGHT KIDS CANCER, a European initiative dedicated to paediatric oncology, we support innovative research projects. In Belgium, we work closely with the Belgian Society for Paediatric Haematology Oncology (BSPHO) to support the participation of Belgian paediatric oncology centres in international academic clinical trials.
Our advocacy and awareness activities are just as important. They aim to ensure that pharmaceutical companies are required or incentivised to invest more in research in paediatric cancer, that governments invest more in research infrastructure, and that other NGOs active in the cancer field play their part in advancing research in paediatric cancer.
Belle initiative! Profites en!
