from
discovery
to cure
The reality
Less than 7% of scientific discoveries become treatments.
This gap comes at a cost : today, only one in two people survive cancer, partly for lack of an effective treatment.
UP Against Cancer helps researchers turn their discoveries into life-saving treatments.
To give more people a chance to be cured, 100% of your donations go to this mission.
NEW IDENTITY
A new name, the same commitment
UP Against Cancer is the new public name of the Fournier-Majoie Foundation.
Our name is changing, but our mission remains the same.
A new name to better express who we are and the ambition that has always driven us: advancing cancer research so that scientific discoveries become new solutions for patients.
UP stands for the energy and ambition to go further. It is the momentum we want to give researchers exploring new paths, as well as donors who choose to invest in science and the future.
Against Cancer is our commitment, clearly stated, to unite this energy and push cancer back.

The Butterfly Effect
When Art Takes on Cancer
This November, come and enjoy an artistic and charitable experience in support of cancer research!
UP Against Cancer entrusted large resin butterflies to some fifteen Belgian artists, who will transform them into unique works of art, symbols of transformation, hope and impact.
At an exceptional opening on Thursday, November 19, the butterflies will take flight, perhaps all the way to your home? Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire a unique and meaningful work of art!
100% of the proceeds will go directly and exclusively to our research projects. Art can change lives… and so can you!
