Lobith 01/04/2015 – Shipyard De Hoop is helping to build a better future, as one of the Business Friends of the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF Kankerbestrijding). Cancer affects us all. One in three Dutch people will develop cancer during their lifetime, which amounts to more than 100,000 people each year. That’s 12 people per hour … which, of course, is way too many. Each year, nearly 42,000 people die of cancer, making this disease the leading cause of death in the Netherlands.
