KickCancer Foundation

KickCancer Foundation We have a beautiful mission: we want to cure every child with cancer. By finding new treatments. And thus, they come to the conclusion that they have to act.

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. Hence the creation of KickCancer!

On 27 September, thousands of Kickers will line up at the start. But our true VIPs? The families affected by childhood cancer. 💛

They are with us at the start line 🏁 running 2, 5 or 10 km, or walking alongside thousands of friends and strangers who show up to support them. They will be the headliner on our podium at the heart of the ceremony.

RUN TO KICK is a day filled with positive, light and moving moments. It offers a sheer dose of hope and solidarity to these families. Because RUN TO KICK is not just a race. It is a community of 5,000 runners and walkers, united for one mission: cure every child with cancer.

We still have room for 4,000 more Kickers. Register now and bring your friends, family, neighbours... Know someone who should be there? Tag them below or share this post. 💬🤳

Last Tuesday, Delphine Heenen walked into a room full of European policymakers and spoke at the Reimagining Health EU Summit 2026. She made sure no one forgot about the kids. 👊

Two things she put on the table: children are still being treated with old, toxic drugs because the market simply does not work for them. And survival rates for kids with cancer vary by up to 20% across Europe, because where you live determines what care you can access.

Same disease. Different country. Different outcome. This has to change. 🎤

💥 Can you believe it? €100,000 raised by YOU. This is what happens when a community shows up. And this is just the first step towards our goal of €2,500,000. We believe we'll get there, together.

👏 Thank you to every single runner and donor. You are the reason children's cancer research moves forward. This year, your efforts go directly towards sarcoma research, because this disease demands more attention and effective cures. 💛

Research is expensive. Research into childhood cancer is urgent. That's why 5,000 runners are uniting at RUN TO KICK on Sunday 27 September in Brussels, and we'd love you to be one of them. Together, we're going for a record: €2.5 million for research.

This year, every euro goes directly into sarcoma research. Sarcomas are the second most difficult childhood cancer to cure. After dedicating RUN TO KICK 2024 to brain tumour research (the most difficult disease area to cure), we're now turning the spotlight on sarcomas. Because these young patients deserve better treatments too.

Every runner commits to raising at least €200 (or €100 for children and students under 25).

Ready? Secure your spot now at runtokick.be. Places are limited.

On this channel, you are part of our incredible community, and that is priceless. Every share, save or comment helps us reach new runners and donors alike, and we genuinely appreciate every digital effort you make. Help us smash that record. 👇

🚨 Last call for the 20km de Bruxelles / 20km door Brussel. Only a handful of spots left. 🤗

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ This Sunday 31 May, KickCancer lines up at the start of the Brussels 20km. We still have a few places available, and we're looking for runners ready to go all in. Not just on race day, but for children with cancer.

In just a few days, you can raise hundreds of euros. Your friends and family will want to support you, especially for this cause. Trust us, we've seen it happen every single year. 💛

Here's how it works:
1️⃣ You're free this Sunday 31 May, from 9am and ready to run 20km in Brussels
2️⃣ You set up your personal fundraising page for KickCancer! We are aiming to raise more than €20.000, together we can do this, for the kids. 🎗️

If you are among the fastest people sending an e-mail to Amélie, wait for her confirmation email with all payment details to transfer €50 race entry asap (proof of payment required). Please note: DMs and comments on social media cannot be taken into account — email is the only way to secure your spot.

Every kilometre counts. Every euro funds better treatments for children with cancer. 💛

We look forward to welcoming our 20km team this Sunday!

Last week, Delphine took part in the official FIGHT KIDS CANCER Selection Meeting. Because research on sarcomas is urgently needed, this year’s call focused on research projects dedicated to paediatric sarcomas 🎗️

Together with an international panel of experts and our partner organisations, we reviewed an incredibly strong response from the scientific community, with 23 translational research applications and 7 clinical trial proposals submitted.

We selected the innovative research projects that are the most promising to improve treatments and outcomes for children and adolescents with cancer. We will share updates about these projects in June, so stay tuned 👀

KickCancer aims for an ambitious contribution of €2.5 million through 🏁 RUN TO KICK 🏁, our charity run taking place on 27 September in Brussels. Ready to help us get there? Register now via www.runtokick.be 💛

A huge thank you to CRIS Contra el Cáncer for hosting this year’s meeting in Madrid and for the warm hospitality. And to our sister organisations: Imagine For Margo - Children without Cancer 🇫🇷, Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner (aide aux enfants atteints d'un cancer) 🇱🇺 and Stichting Kinderen Kankervrij (KiKa) 🇳🇱

Every year, 35,000 children in Europe hear the words no family should ever have to hear: your child has cancer.

Every single one of them deserves to be cured, with the best and most innovative treatments.

Childhood cancers are rare by nature. Too rare for the pharmaceutical industry to invest in. Too rare to solve country by country. That's why fighting them takes a European approach: sharing knowledge about patients' cases, pooling data and tissue samples across borders, and funding the most promising research on a European level. What we learn from one child can help the next.

This is exactly why KickCancer is a proud co-founder of FIGHT KIDS CANCER, together with Imagine For Margo - Children without Cancer🇫🇷, Stichting Kinderen Kankervrij (KiKa) 🇳🇱, Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner (aide aux enfants atteints d'un cancer) 🇱🇺 and CRIS Contra el Cáncer 🇪🇸. Five organisations, one mission: cure every child with cancer.

💸 Make a donation. You don't need to be a scientist to push innovation forward.
