Princess Máxima Center launches campaign during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

When a child is seriously ill from cancer, only one thing matters: a cure. Right now, 1 in 4 children with cancer pass away. And the heavy treatment often has a great impact on the child's life. This must be improved. Therefore, in September we hope to raise awareness of childhood cancer.
About the campaign

Ryan (8) has bone cancer and is in an intensive treatment process. He shares his story in the campaign video. Chemotherapy, cisplatin, dexamethasone: these are terms that a child should not know. The treatment of childhood cancer is complex and has a major impact. Due to side effects of medication, for example. Or late effects of treatment. We cannot cure all children at this time. This must and can be improved. That is why the Princess Máxima Center does a lot of research. This creates new perspectives on a cure and better quality of life. Three colleagues share important research and their ambitions for the future.

Donor support is indispensable for our research, but also for facilities that are essential for the well-being of the child and family.

The campaign was created in collaboration with creative Kim Nieuwenhuijs and media partner OCEAN outdoor.
