Saving Lives with Groundbreaking Research

Vorige week organiseerde Cure for Cancer een speciale presentatie in het Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk. Het evenement werd geleid door voorzitter Prof. Dr. Harrie Beerlage MD PhD FEBU en bestuurslid Dr. Patricia Zondervan. Onze zes toegewijde onderzoekers – Katelijne de Bie, Rosemarijn Ettema, Hugo Schuil, Orlane Figaroa, Luna van den Brink en Marinka Remmelink – presenteerden het baanbrekende onderzoek dat zij uitvoeren, mogelijk gemaakt door de gulheid van onze donateurs.

Het evenement bood onze donateurs een unieke kans om rechtstreeks van de onderzoekers te horen hoe zij bijdragen aan onderzoek naar nierkanker, blaaskanker, prostaatkanker en tumoren van de hoge urinewegen.

De dag werd afgesloten met een prachtig walking dinner, waar de gasten volop gelegenheid hadden om zinvolle gesprekken te voeren en nieuwe contacten te leggen.

We zijn enorm trots op de vooruitgang die we boeken en ontzettend dankbaar voor iedereen die Cure for Cancer steunt. Dankzij jullie steun kunnen we dit belangrijke werk blijven doen. Samen verbeteren we levens door onderzoek.

Our dedicated researchers, Katelijne de Bie, Rosemarijn Ettema, Luna van den Brink, Marinka Remmelink, and Orlane Figaroa, presented their findings at the European Multidisciplinary Congress on Urological Cancers (EMUC24) in Lisbon last week.

This unique interdisciplinary event brought together leading experts in oncology, urology, pathology, and radiology to discuss the latest advancements in genito-urinary cancer treatment. Our researchers proudly contributed to this important dialogue, sharing insights that support progress in kidney, bladder, prostate, and upper tract urothelial cancer research.

From practical workshops to in-depth lectures, EMUC24 serves as a vital platform for innovation, gathering diverse expertise to explore best practices and emerging therapies in GU cancer care.

Let’s congratulate Katelijne, Rosemarijn, Luna, Marinka, and Orlane for their commitment to advancing cancer research and improving lives!

Last weekend, our researchers did Hugo Schuil en Orlane Figaroa, together with their colleagues Daniël van den Kroonenberg, Bram van Bruggen and Joost Slagt taking part in the Dam tot Damloop for Cure for Cancer.

With their participation, they worked to raise money for kidney, prostate and bladder research.

We are extremely proud of our researchers for their commitment and achievement!

Thanks to the generosity of our guests, sponsors and the fantastic team behind the scenes, we raised €959,000 on gala night. More than €970,000 has now been received; that means almost €1 million for our researchers!

Many thanks to everyone who made this evening so special.

To the musical accompaniment of the Ascot Trio and the Flamingos, the guests were welcomed with Philipponnat champagne. Doortje van Herwaarde created a frame, with a painting by her father George van Herwaarde in the background, in which our guests could be photographed. The photographs were taken by Anko Stoffels en Guus J.Baks.

The evening opened with a rendition of Piaf's ‘Non je ne regrette rien’ by Suzan Seegers. This was followed by Victor Mids, illusionist and doctor, with his neuromagic. During his act, he changed chairman Theo M. de Reijke with new chairman Harrie Beerlage. Estonian pianist Tarmo Vesterbohm provided background music during the dinner. Cure for Cancer ambassador Karin Bloemen presented the evening and sang special Cure for Cancer lyrics to a hit song by Adele. The excellent band Sonny's Inc provided the music to which guests danced exuberantly throughout the evening. Legends of soul, Bryan B and Berget Lewis completed the evening.

The lighting and sound in the venue was created by John Veerman van Fa. Heuvelman. Monique Winkel was responsible for directing the evening.

Auctioneer Laurien Schreuder managed to secure large bids, supported by notary Alexander van Limburg Stirum and treasurer Marcel van den Heuvel of the Cure for Cancer foundation.

Our great thanks also go to Stephan and Marianne Stokkermans from Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin, and the team led by Anouk Jahshan, Rick Spermon, Riepke Bouwman. The exquisite menu was presented by chef Werner Drent and Gosia Nychowska of the banqueting department.

A special thank you to our gala organiser Nelleke Launspach and Kitty Dessauvagie who organised the evening, assisted by Marieke van de Laar, Sander Vocke and Marianne van Velzen.

Thank you to our donors and sponsors. If we have forgotten anyone, know that without you we could never have achieved such a great result.
