I’m running 7.5K against cancer at TCS Amsterdam Marathon – will you support me?

I am not a runner. While I do exercise regularly, I never understood why people would run as a hobby. But recently, I felt inspired when I saw the opportunity to run against cancer. That touched me so deeply.

About 1.5 years ago, my mom lost her battle with cancer. That journey and the grief that followed has been the most devastating experience of my life - one I hope none of you will ever have to experience.

That’s why I decided to take on this challenge - to raise money for cancer research, and to hope that one day, fewer families will have to go through this pain.

Running 7.5K may sound small, but it won’t be easy for me - because I’m really not a runner. I’ll need to train hard and push myself every time but I’ll get there. After all, this challenge is nothing compared to what my mom went through, and what so many people fighting cancer are going through every day.

It is even easier for you to donate,  just one click to support this cause. Every donation — big or small — makes a real difference in the fight against cancer.

Thank you so much for your support on this journey!
