Rebond x Denis Meyers x Run For Hope

HOPE, LOVE, COURAGE, LIVE. Powerful words, which take on their full meaning when spoken by hospitalized children suffering from cancer. Words suddenly have power: they comfort, encourage, touch, sensitize, motivate, wound, enthuse, determine... Words resonate differently in extreme times, bringing us back to the present moment, waking us up and shaking us up. As if suddenly more thoughtful, they hit their target and penetrate us. We then understand their true, profound meaning, as well as their scope. Carrying, that's what it's all about: this ball, with its words, carries, lifts us out of everyday life, offers a sporting interlude of joy, hope and plans.
Smile at the present, continue on your way and prepare for the future. This ball, these words, these children, you, us... have power.
Buy this ball and donate €10 to RUN FOR HOPE.

The Run For Hope association asked a dozen hospitalised children what words gave them strength and courage to get through the illness and treatment.

Denis Meyers has added his words of encouragement and hope to the list and has interwoven them with his powerful and intuitive typography on all sides of the ball.

The result is a solidarity balloon with a message of hope and emotion that everyone can relate to.

A good goal ball on the outside, but also on the inside: the Run For Hope x Denis Meyers x Rebond ball is a good, technical, match quality ball. It meets international competition standards and is produced in India in a FAIRTRADE factory. It contains no phthalates and the inks used meet the European standards for games and toys.

Run For Hope is a team of volunteers whose members have been confronted, in one way or another, with childhood cancer.

Together, they share the desire to help young patients, parents and siblings get through this terrible ordeal in the best possible conditions.

Learning that your child has cancer is a terrible shock and a huge challenge for a family. The treatment of childhood cancer is long, invasive and challenging. The cure obviously comes first. But besides medication, exercise, nutrition, sleep, psychosocial support... contribute to a better recovery.

80% of young patients recover, but many are left with after-effects from the disease or treatment.

Through this balloon the association raises funds so that every child with cancer receives the best possible care and heals with an optimal long-term quality of life.

These funds are used to finance:
- Projects that soften the daily lives, well-being and quality of life of young patients, during and after treatment
- Projects that support parents and siblings throughout treatment and beyond, if cure is not at hand
- Projects focused on the development of the sick child: fun and educational activities, creative workshops and moments of relaxation and escapism, both inside and outside the hospital
- The purchase of "comfort" medical devices that help improve treatment, minimize certain side effects and relieve pain, but which are not covered by social security
- Research and innovation in the field of pediatric cancers
