INFO

Pink Duck Race

"Quack, quack, we are the Pink Ducks and we are on tour with Pink Duck Race.

As the team captain, let me tell you more about our goals: When we heard that 1 in 8 women worldwide would be diagnosed with breast cancer one day, we realized we had to do something to help! We decided to use Pink Duck Race to spread awareness and information about this disease. We are eager to do this together with you. We need your help!

To support THINK PINK, you can adopt us here on our website.

We are ready to race again! We will swim as fast as we can! We promise! It is important to all of us! So, please adopt us and help us fight breast cancer! We can’t do this alone…"

THINK PINK EUROPE

Stronger together

Think Pink Europe invests in screening campaigns for breast cancer.

Screening is free, but too many at-risk people wait too long. A quick diagnosis is essential for survival.

In addition, women (and men) with breast cancer are supported before, during, and after treatment. Think Pink Europe helps with a personalized care plan in the most challenging time of their lives.

Scientific research shows that a healthier lifestyle reduces the risk of breast cancer.

  • Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Europe
  • 1 in 8 women will develop the disease before the age of 75
  • Every year: 500,000 new diagnoses and 125,000 people die of breast cancer
  • Breast cancer survival rates differ up to 30%, depending on where you live in Europe; this is unacceptable!
  • Think Pink Europe is an umbrella structure of 30 country organizations.
  • Facilitating and organizing common events and communications is their main job.

1 IN 8 WOMEN

Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her life?

This means that every year, in Europe, 500.000 people will get breast cancer, and 125.000 will sadly pass away.

Breast cancer campaigns all over Europe are working hard to raise awareness about the disease.

Recognizing possible warning signs of breast cancer and taking prompt action leads to early diagnosis and saves lives.

Your actions have the power to show every woman that her life matters.

Your support helps us to continue our campaigns to fight breast cancer.

WE NEED PARTNERSHIPS TO REACH OUR GOALS

  • As we are a fast-growing community in Europe, in collaboration with the EU-commission and aligned with national and regional policy.
  • As we try to reach out to as many women as possible to communicate about breast cancer and to set up programs to help women during the most challenging time of their lives.
  • As we have to communicate more about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, being active, and doing sports.

We strongly believe it would be a win-win-win situation to be connected with Pink Ducks On Tour and Think Pink Europe.

we need partnerships to reach our goals

Think Pink has three funds to achieve these objectives

Beautiful Lengths Fund

Many survivors lose their hair during treatment. This can feel as if you are losing part of yourself, part of who you are, your identity and pride. That is why many people choose to cover their head with a wig or trendy headwear. With the help of the Beautiful Lengths Fund, Think Pink helps survivors who are struggling financially to purchase a wig or fashionable headwear. To do this, we are working together with the social services of the hospitals in Belgium. In this way, we want to support as many people as possible during one of the most difficult times in their lives.

Share your Care Fonds

The Share your Care Fund supports survivors affected by breast cancer and helps them during the most difficult time of their lives.

SMART Fonds

Belgium is the world champion in breast cancer. However, it is still tricky for local researchers who set up innovative scientific projects regarding breast cancer to obtain the necessary financial means. The search for new screening, treatment, and follow-up care methods occurs at small and medium scales.

Another growing research area is the new associations of existing treatment methods that can enhance each other's effects. Projects that can create a significant breakthrough but whose success isn’t established in advance hardly find sponsors nowadays.

THINK PINK BELGIUM

Think Pink is the national breast cancer organization and aims to improve the lives of breast cancer patients and their families.

Think Pink has four clearly defined objectives:

  • to inform and to raise awareness
  • to defend patients' rights
  • to fund scientific research into breast cancer
  • to fund care and aftercare programmes

HOST CITY

Antwerp

Antwerp is the capital of the eponymous province in the region of Flanders in Belgium. With a population of just over half a million people, it is the second largest city in Belgium (after Brussels), and it has a major European port. Due to its long and culturally rich history, the city of Antwerp houses many interesting historical buildings from different historical periods and many interesting museums. Antwerp is also known as the global diamond trade hub - more than 70% of all diamonds are traded in Antwerp.

Antwerp has become a trendy city, attracting many Flemish and foreign artists, writers, intellectuals, and actors. It is a dynamic city, offering a perfect mix of history and modern life. The friendliness of the people of Antwerp and their innate penchant for good food and good living, combined with their low-stress lifestyle, make it a desirable and relaxing place to visit.

Visit Antwerp

Port of Antwerp Bruges

With an overall throughput of 287 million tones per year, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is a critical hub in worldwide trade and industry. The port is a crucial link for the handling of containers, breakbulk, and the throughput of vehicles. Port of Antwerp-Bruges is home to 1,400 companies and accommodates Europe's largest integrated chemical cluster. The port provides, directly and indirectly, around 164,000 jobs and generates an added value of 21 billion euros.

The ambition for the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is clear - to become the world's first port that reconciles economy, people, and climate. As well as growing sustainably, the Port also aims to focus on its unique position as a logistics, maritime and industrial center and take the lead in the transition to a circular and low-carbon economy. With the port community, customers, and other partners, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges actively seeks innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Its responsibility for the environment and the surrounding society is high on the agenda.

The port sites of Antwerp and Zeebrugge are operated by the Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority, a limited liability company of public law with the City of Antwerp and the City of Bruges as its shareholders. The port employs 1,800 people. Vice-Mayor of Antwerp Annick De Ridder is President of the Board of Directors, and the Mayor of Bruges, Dirk De Fauw is the Vice-President. Jacques Vandermeiren is CEO and President of the Executive Committee, responsible for the port’s day-to-day management.
