You’ve probably heard: this year, Strong Viking is partnering with Pink Ribbon to support the fight against breast cancer. Every year, more than 17,000 people in the Netherlands, including men, are diagnosed with breast cancer. One in seven women will face this disease. Every year, approximately 3,000 people still die from it, 99.2% of whom are women. This means that about nine people die every day due to the effects of breast cancer.

 

Pink Ribbon raises funds for projects and research to prevent and better treat breast cancer. They do everything they can to make life after breast cancer as pleasant as possible. But they can’t do it alone. Will you help?

 

Together Against Breast Cancer

By participating in Strong Viking, you support breast cancer research. Participation not only means raising awareness about breast cancer, but also contributing to the funding of new research.

 

Pink Ribbon is committed to projects and research to prevent breast cancer and improve its treatment and cure. Additionally, they aim to make life after breast cancer as pleasant as possible. The support of people like you enables scientific breakthroughs and innovations in breast cancer research. That’s why Strong Viking supports Pink Ribbon this year! Thanks to the efforts of all our amazing Vikings, we have already raised more than €25,000. A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed!
