08-04-2025 · News

MAASTRICHT. Nearly 1,200 runners and walkers collected over 196 thousand euros last Sunday during the fifth edition of the Run to Fight Cancer sponsor event. In doing so, organisation Students Fight Cancer (SFC), led by eight Maastricht students, once again broke a record.

The previous two editions also did well: last year's amount was 187 thousand euros, in 2023 the participants collected 112 thousand euros. With the new record amount, SFC passes the half-million-euro mark raised for cancer research at MUMC+.

The Maastricht initiative has not gone unnoticed: since 2023, there has also been a Run to Fight Cancer in Nijmegen, also organised by students. Not without success: in total, the Nijmegen SFC has now raised more than 100 thousand euros for research at the Radboud University Medical Center.
