[Support us!] B bikes for the 1,000 km of Kom op tegen Kanker

At B, we have since long maintained a strong tradition of athletic team activities for charity. This year, we are loosening our legs once again. During the Ascension weekend from 18 to 21 May, we will participate in the 1,000 km for Kom op tegen Kanker with two teams of eight B-cyclists.

Our teams are in full preparation to boost their fitness to the maximum by the start of the event. In addition, we are organising various activities to raise money. The concept behind it is simple: to enable our cyclists to start, we need to raise 5,500 euros per team (11,000 euros in total).

As part of this, on Friday evening 21 April, we are hosting a culinary cheese, beer and wine evening with team B-juxta, the Ghent hub of B-architecten. Pay us a visit and have a taste during our appetising evening in Ghent's Blaisant Church. More info here.

Each year, the proceeds of the 1,000 km go to scientific cancer research. Kom op tegen Kanker works with five-year plans. In the past five years, for instance, they have focused on a smoke-free environment; in the next five years, they will focus on prevention of alcohol consumption and obesity, among other things. In 2021, they collected a whopping 35.81 million euros. For every 10 euros, less than 2 euros goes towards investment in fundraising and the organisation's operations. 56% goes to cancer research (detection, cure), 35% to psychosocial care.
