Chantal Janzen new ambassador Princess Máxima Center

The Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology has asked Chantal Janzen to become an ambassador for the center.

As ambassador, Chantal Janzen will support the Princess Máxima Center in its mission: to cure every child with cancer, with an optimal quality of life. Each year, around 600 children in the Netherlands are diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, one in four children with cancer still dies from the disease.

Rob Pieters, medical director of the Princess Máxima Center, member of the Executive Board, and professor of pediatric oncology: “Chantal Janzen represents the Dutch public, she appeals to everyone and is very down to earth. Most importantly, she truly wants to contribute to our important goal, which makes her a wonderful ambassador for the Máxima Center.”

Chantal Janzen: “Since the opening, I’ve been regularly involved with the Princess Máxima Center, where I learned how important the work of the doctors, researchers, and nurses is in their mission to cure all children with cancer. In my new role as ambassador, I can now contribute to the treatment of and research into childhood cancer.”

In the episode of the TV series Chantal Komt Werken aired on Thursday, May 2 on RTL 4, viewers can see Chantal’s experiences working for a day as a nurse at the Princess Máxima Center.
