Sport that rewards those who study lung cancer.

Since 2023 we turn races and sporting events into mini-grants for young oncologists under 40.

How the Hybrid Funding Model works

A transparent mechanism: those who do sport fund those who cure. Three simple steps, statutory ETS constraint on fund allocation.

You participate or donate

Marathons, swimming, triathlon, padel, spartan, personal challenges. Or 5×1000, a donation, a corporate sponsorship.

We turn it into grants

Statutory constraint: funds go to research, evaluated by the independent Scientific Committee.

They do research

7 under-40 researchers funded since 2023. €3,000 each for professional growth in lung oncology.
