ONKLOPBAAR!
ONKLOPBAAR!
Exercise is healthy. That is precisely why the UZA is putting extra effort into ONKLOPBAAR, a unique exercise programme that prepares patients with various conditions for the Baloise Antwerp 10 Miles. A serious illness changes your life, both physically and mentally. Regular exercise helps to reduce symptoms and regain self-confidence. Yet many patients are reluctant to start exercising again. ONKLOPBAAR lowers that threshold: training together, under medical supervision, in a safe and motivating environment. Everyone is welcome. Professional coaches guide you every step of the way towards the 10 Miles.
“Thanks to this walking programme, I am doing more than I ever did in my healthy life. This is the beginning of the rest of my life.” Participant Onklopbaar, Lieve Depoorter.

The Prinses Máxima Centrum Foundation Belgium is dedicated to helping children with cancer and their families. Our mission is to ensure that every child in Belgium has access to the best possible care and expertise. That is why we are building a bridge between the Belgian healthcare sector and the Prinses Máxima Centrum in Utrecht, Europe’s largest pediatric oncology center. With the funds raised, we support training, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among healthcare teams. In this way, we contribute to better treatments, more hope, and a greater chance of recovery for children with cancer.
On April 26, we’re running For Children, Against Cancer! Would you like to support our runners? You can do so via our fundraising page, where every contribution makes a difference for children with cancer!

HOPE Benefiet, which for years was dedicated exclusively to cancer research, had to say goodbye to its founder and driving force, Rupert Suply, in 2016. Rupert – a top athlete and well-known Antwerp DJ – lost his battle with cancer ten years ago, after many years of fighting and more than 650 rounds of chemotherapy. Since then, an enthusiastic and determined team of friends and family has continued the work to make all of Rupert’s dreams come true. With the help of many, HOPE strives to support a wide variety of charities – often for children. From a bouncy castle for a school, school bags for underprivileged kids, educational toys for children’s wards in hospitals across Flanders, contributions to the non-profit organisation Kinderkankerfonds, to trips with the UZ Gent Rehabilitation Centre to Plopsaland. Giving Hope to everyone who needs it!
Hope Benefiet has been running the Antwerp Ten Miles for years with many ‘runners’, young and old, under the name #Athletes4Hope. Just like in previous editions, you can support them again this year to raise money for one of the above projects. Will you make an extra effort in this double anniversary year – 40 years of the Antwerp Ten Miles and 10 years without Hope founder Rupert Suply?
