“For six years, my daughter Sam has been rehabilitating from a syndrome that causes chronic pain in her lower legs. This requires frequent hospital stays at Leuven University Hospitals. We feel the positive influence of the creative and exciting activities that the Art Fund organises for the children's hospital. They help the children and us, the parents, feel that we are not alone. I was happy to run a few marathons to support this inspiring fund.”

- Sven Carton, father of Sam, whose sporting achievements get sponsored  through his Run 2 Reva organisation.
