Chantal is our new member of staff since September 2021, 41 years old, living in the North of Belgium with her boyfriend, his daughter and their 2 dogs.
PART OF THE PINK COMUNITY
Chantal is a new member of the Think Pink Europe staff, but she's no stranger to Think Pink. She has been participating and vollunteering on many Think Pink Belgium events over the last 7 years, before and after she got breastcancer herself. That's where she got experience in fundraising and organising small event. It's only after she lost her husband to cancer in 2018, that she decided to get involved professionally with supporting cancer survivors.
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE & SPORTS
Chantal has been a sports enthousiast for many years. Running, cycling, swimming, triathlon and mountainbiking, she loves it all. In the last few years she has been coaching others to get fitter. Her focus is on helping cancer survivors to get fit again after cancer treatments and surgery. Last summer she took a whole group on a kano trip in Sweden. The step to Think Pink Europe was completely in line with what she was already doing, so a quite obvious choice.
THINK PINK EUROPE
Originaly Chantal was employed to manage all sports events, fundraising like the Ibiza Marathon or the Camino for Think Pink. Since Covid-19 is making it hard for us to find participators, and other things within the organsiation requiered more attention, things are shifting quickly. From January 2022 Chantal will responible for coördinating most of our activities.
