Pink Ribbonettes at an international dragon boat festival
In late August, our Belgian “ Pink Ribbonettes ” from Lier, Turnhout, and Brussels traveled to Aix-les-Bains, France, for the international IBCPC Participatory Dragon Boat Festival. For the first time, they competed together as a single team: “ Pink Ribbonettes United.” Some 4,500 current and former breast cancer patients from 25 countries gathered there to enjoy dragon boat racing, sports, and a sense of community. For our “ Pink Ribbonettes ” (Breast Cancer Survivors), too, it was a week full of special encounters, athletic challenges, emotions, and, above all, lots of fun.

Breast cancer screening still saves lives
It is important to provide women with accurate information about breast cancer, a condition that instills fear in so many women. The new report from the KCE rightly points out a number of limitations of breast cancer screening, but it uses outdated figures that it itself describes as weak evidence. Let women make a well-informed choice in peace, based on strong evidence.
Higher Rates of Breast Cancer Among Flight Attendants: Does Cosmic Radiation Play a Role?
In early September 2026, a French court recognized a flight attendant’s breast cancer as an occupational disease. This led to reports that cosmic radiation on airplanes causes breast cancer. But it’s not that simple.
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.
