Participate with your company for free, put on a pink outfit and wear the pink ribbon.

Donate your ponytail!
After the breast cancer diagnosis, a treatment process starts where chemotherapy is sometimes necessary. That therapy damages patients' head hair. Hair loss then seems inevitable, which for many patients is the most drastic side effect of their treatment. Donate your ponytail to Pink Ribbon, giving breast cancer patients a boost.

Must read
Mixed feelings in your relationship due to breast cancer
Breast cancer can put you in turbulent waters as a couple. This is only normal and need not have dramatic consequences. What helps? Talking. With each other, and with health care providers. Even about things that are often still taboo: intimacy and sexuality.
Fear of relapse after breast cancer
Once the treatments are over, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, except you, who have survived the cancer. Your body doesn't feel the same, but most of all, sometimes the fear of the cancer returning creeps up on you. Cancer instills fear. Especially in the first year after diagnosis, but also later, especially during check-ups, fear of relapse sometimes rears its ugly head. This is normal. The majority of all cancer survivors face it regularly.
Exercise is the best medicine
Walking is not only good for our bodies, but also for our minds. A regular walk in the fresh air outside helps us get through the day. And did you know that walking reduces your risk of breast cancer as well as your chance of relapse after breast cancer?
Pink Ribbon is the Belgian organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer every day.
The non-profit organization Pink Ribbon is the national organization working every day to improve the medical treatment of breast cancer and increase the quality of life of (former) breast cancer patients. Our mission is ready and clear to eliminate the disease and reduce its impact.
To this end, we are setting up several projects in Belgium under 5 pillars:
- Breast cancer awareness
- Prevention
- Early detection of breast cancer
- Psychosocial support for (former) patients and their surroundings
- Research
To finance these projects, we raise funds managed in the bosom of the Pink Ribbon non-profit organization and at the Pink Ribbon Fund, the latter under the auspices of the King Baudouin Foundation.
