Research

1 in 2 Dutch people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. But did you know that a third of this is preventable? More than 30% of all cancer cases are caused by lifestyle and environmental factors, such as smoking, unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. That is why Golazo, organizer of the NN Marathon Rotterdam and promoter of a healthy lifestyle, links its sporting events to KWF to make an impact together.
