I’m running against cancer 5K during NN CPC Loop Den Haag 2026. Will you sponsor me? All proceeds go to KWF, which works towards a better life with and after cancer. 

Late July 2025 I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. I’ve experienced first-hand how vital research, treatment innovation, and personal support are, both for patients and their loved ones.

I am so grateful for the excellent treatment i received, underpinned by extensive scientific research, which will give me the best chance of overcoming this disease. Additionally, i benefited from KWF-funded initiatives at the hospital’s oncology “informatieplein”, including a support group for women with breast cancer and an information session on complementary treatments. These activities made recovery less isolating and more manageable, a real blessing.

Training for a 5K will be a real challenge; I had surgery in October and finished radiotherapy in November.  But it’s a challenge I’d like to take on for every cancer patient- and for myself.

Will you help? Every contribution, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.

Many thanks,

Silvy
