Run4Semmy - join us!

On October 18 the eight Run4Semmy event will take place. As always, the run is part of the 8-km distance of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. But if you want to take it to the next level, feel free to participate in the half or full marathon for Semmy. 😉

Your sponsors can support you per kilometer, a fixed amount for the full distance or just donate a random amount, irrespective of your achievement. All gifts are much welcomed. If you have participated before, please be aware that it might harder to find sponsors than last time. We assume everyone will do the best they can in this respect.

If this is your first time in Run4Semmy, make sure your fundraising target is at least € 250,-, on top of the € 25.00 registration fee. More info & registration form on the webpage: http://www.pontineglioma.com/run4semmy-2/

Why Stichting Semmy?

Every year about 125 children in the Netherlands are confronted with a brain tumor. Approximately 15% of brain tumors in children is a brainstem tumor (DIPG / pons glioma), about 18 cases per year. The survival rate of a brain tumor is in fact almost 0% after diagnosis with a life expectancy of 2 to 12 months. Stichting Semmy (Semmy Foundation) is funding the VUmc research VONK-SEMMY.
