Children, adolescents and
young adults with
(haematological) cancer.
It is our big dream to be able to realise the operation of vzw SuperNils by 2030 in all government-recognised Belgian reference hospitals for AYAs and specialised children's cancer hospitals. Completed, of course, with our current partners!
Unfortunately, it's not that far yet, but we keep working hard to still reach as many people as possible. Because that is exactly what my brother too would have wanted.
7 partner hospitals
Currently, vzw SuperNils is active in 6 hospitals spread across the five Flemish provinces. Started in 2018 in East Flanders, in the UZ Gent, the hospital where Nils himself was being cared for. Very soon UZ Antwerpen taken there, followed by AZ Klina in Brasschaat (province of Antwerp). Thanks to the help of one of our associates, Lymphoma Cancer Association Flanders, we were able to launch the UZ Leuven support, in West Flanders AZ Delta in Roeselare and in beautiful Limburg AZ Jessa in Hasselt. This means that we are currently already active in the whole of Flanders. From October 2024, this is likely to be ZAS Cadix Antwerp added.
We wrote in the 2024 policy paper that we will be active in all Belgian hospitals with a haematology department by 2030. However, Fight Against Cancer put us with both feet back on the ground. Floating is no good and an ambition must remain attainable. We therefore adapted our goal and aim to support all Belgian reference hospitals for AYAs (6) and specialised children's cancer hospitals (3), all recognised by the government. This offer was further complemented by AZ Klina, AZ Delta, AZ Jessa and ZAS Cadix, as we already support them too.
We are busy further expanding our network and looking for additional funding to realise our goal. We do the latter by writing project dossiers, which we use to approach companies, submitting projects to organisations such as the Foundation Against Cancer, Come on Against Cancer and Warmest Week and working out possible sponsorship packages for companies, SMEs and individuals.

With this hospital, vzw SuperNils has signed an official cooperation agreement. This was even approved by the hospital's management committee. So we can call ourselves real partners, working together on projects, interactive boxes, informing people, etc., among other things.
