KickCancer is a young Belgian foundation with a fantastic mission: to cure all children with cancer. Find new treatments, improve existing treatments and kick childhood cancer to the back burner once and for all, so that it will never, ever come back!
To accomplish this mission, KickCancer finances research into more efficient and less toxic treatments in the hope of curing more children and preventing or reducing the long-term side effects of current treatments.
KickCancer is a Belgian foundation with a European calling. Because childhood cancer is so rare, we need to work together at European level to find new treatments. KickCancer finances innovative European research projects that require collaboration across various European institutions on the one hand, and Belgian clinical trials or projects with European collaboration on the other.
KickCancer also represents the interests of children with the government because a better regulatory framework would stimulate the development of new medicines by pharmaceutical companies.
Finally, KickCancer offers young patients and their parents the opportunity to make their voices heard in a structured way through its patient committee. In this way, KickCancer has a direct influence on the quality and orientation of research projects, as well as on the care pathway of young patients and their families.
