Charity

For the sixth year in a row, your participation in the TCS Amsterdam Marathon can help support KWF Dutch Cancer Society. Together, we have raised nearly € 5.5 million in recent years for groundbreaking cancer research at the Cancer Center Amsterdam. Let’s aim for € 7.5 million! Will you join us?

Your race makes a difference

Every 5 minutes, someone in the Netherlands is diagnosed with cancer. In that same time, you run 1 kilometer. Whether you get it yourself or someone you care about; cancer disrupts your life. KWF is committed to reducing the impact of cancer.

We give you the chance to turn the powerlessness you may feel when touched by cancer into strength. Run against cancer, raise money for important cancer research and contribute to KWF's mission: Fewer people diagnosed with cancer, more people cured and more people living better with and after cancer. During previous editions we already raised 5 million euros. Your race can really make a difference. Will you join us this year?

Research

Cancer doesn’t stop at borders. That’s why KWF works together with cancer organisations, doctors, researchers and talented young scientists in Europe and beyond. By pooling knowledge, funding and experience, we can find better treatments faster – especially for people with rare forms of cancer. This increases the chance that people, wherever they live, can live longer and better lives.

When you run for KWF or donate, you:

• make international research into (rare) cancers and the training of young cancer researchers possible;
• help new treatments reach patients faster;
• give more people, in more countries, a fair chance of life.
