Arne Lannoy, A.K.A. Zorro Fund

On December 6, 2015, Arne Lannoy died at the age of 23 after a hard and undeserved fight against a brain tumor. But he will never be forgotten! Arne was a very popular figure in his home town of Ledegem, very active and always willing to help. In 2015, he organised a fundraising event himself in aid of cancer. His family and friends have kept this tradition alive and the Ledegem festival Rock Beats Cancer has taken place every year since then. The proceeds from the festival are given to the fund.

In the coming months, our research will focus on exploring if we can diagnose a certain type of malignant brain tumor through an ordinary blood sample rather than a biopsy. This can play an important role in monitoring patients. We would like to convey our sincere thanks to the Arne Lannoy Fund, all employees and sponsors.

In this way they wanted to keep Arne’s memory alive and make sure that even if he is no longer with us, Arne can keep on helping other people.
