With KWF, I hope to contribute to better research, better treatments, and ultimately a future where fewer families have to experience the pain of losing someone they love to cancer.

This cause is deeply personal to me. About 10 years ago, around the same time as this race, I lost someone close to me to cancer. That loss has stayed with me ever since. Through my work, and academic background, I have always felt a strong desire to contribute in some way to cancer research and to the fight against this disease.

That is why I believe so strongly in the work of KWF Kankerbestrijding. KWF funds scientific research and works toward cancer prevention, earlier detection, better treatments, and a better quality of life for people impacted by cancer and their loved ones.

For me, this challenge is not about competing for time. It is about finishing this race and doing so with purpose. Taking on this challenge alone is a huge step for me, both physically and mentally, but I want to do it for everyone impacted by cancer — for those who are living with the disease, in honour of the ones we have lost, and in support of the loved ones who continue to carry that loss with them.

Will you help me reach my fundraising goal?

Every donation, big or small, means a lot to me and brings me one step closer to that finish line and to supporting a cause that is much bigger than myself.

Thank you so much for your support, and for helping me stand up for better research, better care, and more hope.

Much love,
Aïcha
