Research
1 in 2 Dutch people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. Golazo, the organizer of the NN Marathon Rotterdam, is convinced that cancer can be prevented for many more people. More than a third of all cancer cases can be attributed to lifestyle and environmental factors, such as unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. Golazo sees enormous opportunities here and is happy to take on the challenge. That is why Golazo links their events to KWF. Together we raise money for scientific research. Research aimed at prevention, diagnosis and treatment for quality of life. But not only scientific research is funded. Part of the proceeds will also be used locally, such as supporting the Daniël den Hoed family home, the IPSO Centers for living with and after cancer and palliative care.
