Project SSMW
Their mission:
Project SSMW has a long tradition at the Royal Military Academy. The final-year students organise various activities inside and outside the school, for pupils and non-pupils, in order to collect money for a charity.
This year, the 162th Promotion SSMW chose KcikCancer.
KickCancer is a Belgian foundation established in 2017 by Delphine Heenen after her child was diagnosed with a rare tumor. Shocked to discover that the treatment available was based on research from the 1990s, she decided to create an organization entirely dedicated to advancing cures for childhood cancers. The foundation’s mission is simple but ambitious: to cure every child with cancer by investing in innovative treatments that are both more effective and less toxic, while also reducing long-term side effects.
Operating in Belgium and across Europe, KickCancer funds cutting-edge research projects and supports the participation of Belgian hospitals in international clinical trials. Through the European initiative “Fight Kids Cancer,” the foundation collaborates with partner organizations in several countries to pool resources and finance the most promising studies. It also works on improving regulatory frameworks to encourage the development of pediatric medicines, ensuring that children benefit from the latest scientific breakthroughs.
Beyond research, KickCancer actively raises awareness and engages the public through impactful solidarity events. Its flagship fundraiser, Run to Kick, brings together thousands of participants each year to generate millions for research. Other initiatives, such as Éclair Day or charity art sales, create unique opportunities for people to support the cause in creative ways. By combining scientific ambition, advocacy, and community engagement, KickCancer transforms every act of generosity into concrete hope for young patients and their families.

Their mission:
"In the service of those who defend us"
"The association is run by ex-active military personnel (retired or returned to civilian life) and by active military personnel. As you will see, their aim is not only to raise funds for wounded soldiers or their families in the most serious cases, but also to provide them with psychological support if they feel the need, Or to listen to them, whatever problem they have."
MOAT vzw. #WERACEFORHEROES
Their mission:
"PTSD IS NOT A CRIME ! TALKING HELPS !
"This project was born from the idea that there are a lot of people within the emergency services, defense, etc ... who hold themselves strongly against each other. It is also noticed that aid workers sometimes find it difficult to have a chat with a colleague. Or they themselves do not know how and where they can go for help if they are not doing well psychologically or mentally.
MOAT vzw. would like to break this taboo. And what better way to do that than to give a strong signal with a group of racers: "talking helps, there is no shame in it".
