Brothers run marathon for childhood cancer research: 'Treatments are tough on children'

Jietse (22) and Siebe (25) are running the Berlin marathon on Saturday to raise money for childhood cancer research. The brothers want to draw more attention to the severe side effects of treatments that children have to endure.

The duo particularly emphasizes the physical impact of heavy treatments. According to the fundraisers, much more research is needed to make treatments less burdensome for young bodies.

The marathon is a big challenge for the brothers, who have been training for the 42 kilometers over the past few months. They hope that their action will also inspire others to get involved in childhood cancer research.

According to the source, the brothers are not the only ones working towards this goal. There are various initiatives to raise money for childhood cancer research.
