Effective cancer treatment for children and adolescents is not just about survival — it's about ensuring a good quality of life afterward. Many traditional cancer treatments can lead to severe long-term side effects, including organ damage, secondary cancers, and developmental issues.
Investing in research means developing more targeted therapies, reducing toxic side effects, and improving overall outcomes. Advocating for better funding, awareness, and innovation in pediatric oncology is crucial. Every child deserves a future free from both cancer and its long-term consequences!

LËTZ GO GOLD is a charity run organised by the Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner and takes place on the last Saturday morning of September. Each participant agrees to collect a minimum of € 200 (€ 100 for minors and students under 25 years of age) to fund paediatric cancer research: find new cures, improve existing ones, and learn more about the causes of paediatric cancers.
For the past 35 years, Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner has been accompanying families of children with cancer. It’s multi-disciplinary team offers an individual accompaniment from the diagnosis to the remission of the child and offering administrative and financial services, psychological and social support and educational and recreational activities. In addition, the Foundation undertakes awareness campaigns and contributes to the improvement of the condition of the sick child. Finally, we actively support onco-pediatric research with one goal: to treat better and more.
