About the event
Run to Fight Cancer is a running event, organised by Students Fight Cancer, which was founded in 2019 by students. Since then, both bigger and smaller events are set up, all with the same goal: to collect as much money as possible for cancer research in the MUMC+. The board, consisting of 8 students from multiple different studies in Maastricht, dedicates themselves to the organisation for a year to contribute to this research.
Last year, almost € 200.000 was collected during the run. This year, we of course strive to collect an even higher amount. Only together can we win the Fight against Cancer. Will you help us?
