Leopoldsburg In Heppen, the Warmest Village in Flanders, runs the support for our next opponent at full speed. Waffles, walks, christmas markets, art, quizzes, even an ingenious pyramid scheme: nothing is too much trouble for their five-year-old villager to help. The boy fighting against cancer and immunotherapy, with a price tag of no less than 140,000 euros. Also a baker Guy is now in the competition.
Seppe suffers from neuroblastoma, a rare children’s cancer. In excess of the disaster seppe are expensive therapy is not reimbursed by the RIZIV. And that realizes the boy himself all too well. “I’m already a year sick and can’t go to school,” says Seppe. “I’m been in the hospital, but the doctors say that there is still medication. But that costs a lot of money.” 140,000 euros to be exact. A huge amount, though the villagers from Seppe in Heppen – municipality of Leopoldsburg – not discourage. With ‘Let’s make it Heppen’ they have a support group established with the purpose of the immunotherapy to allow for the brave toddler.
