Sport that rewards those who study lung cancer.
Since 2023 we turn races and sporting events into mini-grants for young oncologists under 40.
You don't have to be an athlete. You just have to be there — for those who are fighting.
The proof
100% to research. Every euro bound by ETS statute to a mini-grant.
Meritocratic selection via an independent Scientific Committee · early-career oncologists on lung carcinoma.
€20,700 in 2 years and 2 calls · 3×€2,900 (2024) + 4×€3,000 (2025) → next goal: the 8th researcher
