This year will be my third time running the 10K for Run to Kick, a children’s cancer foundation close to my heart. Running is not only a personal challenge but also a way to contribute to a cause that matters deeply to me.
My training partner and mascot is my dog Freddie, who keeps me motivated on the daily runs with his boundless energy and enthusiasm. But beyond Freddie’s companionship, my biggest source of inspiration is my wife, Sana, who dedicates her career to the field of cancer immunology. Her tireless work reminds me every day why this fight is so important and why supporting this foundation means so much.
Together, we run, work, and hope for a future where children can grow up free from 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).
