This quarter, 42.195 for children supports
BEN hilft! – Stark machen gegen DIPG e.V.

DIPG is an aggressive brain tumour that mainly affects young children and is still considered incurable.

BEN hilft! – Stark machen gegen DIPG e.V. is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting children and families affected by diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a particularly aggressive brain tumour in the brainstem that is still considered incurable, primarily affecting children.

The organisation was founded by a family affected by the condition and combines personal experience with concrete action. BEN hilft! supports families in an exceptional situation where there is often a lack not only of medical prospects, but also of guidance, respite and reliable support. The help provided is direct and closely aligned with what is truly needed.

A key focus is also on promoting research. The aim is to advance new approaches and help bring about long-term change in the situation for affected children. For despite the severity of the disease, treatment options remain very limited to this day.
At the same time, the association is committed to raising awareness of the reality of DIPG and making it visible.

Through its work, BEN hilft! stands for support that makes a difference and for the clear goal that DIPG must not remain a death sentence.

With every kilometer, we create support.
With every donation, we create impact.
Join in by moving.

In the first quarter of 2026, 42.195 for children will support Die Haarspender.

Founded in Vienna, Austria, Die Haarspender is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting children who have lost their hair due to illness.

Children who lose their hair due to illness face challenges that go far beyond the physical. Through custom-made wigs crafted from donated hair and financed by monetary donations, Die Haarspender helps children regain confidence, dignity and a sense of normality in a very sensitive phase of life.

After a personal conversation with Holger Thomas Möller, the initiator of the organisation, one thing felt very clear: This project belongs here.

Grateful to turn kilometres into support for these children.

New quarter. New purpose.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, 42.195 for children partners with Yes - We Swim! e.V., a non-profit organisation offering free swimming lessons for children.

The programme is

• inclusive - for children with and without disabilities
• open-ended - every child gets the time they need
• community-based - in cooperation with social institutions, refugee centres andschools.

Learning to swim means more than staying afloat. It means safety, confidence, freedom and self-belief. Every child deserves the chance to feel strong and secure in the water.

This quarter, we’re not just running – we’re swimming too.

A new chapter begins for 42.195 for children.

In the third quarter of 2025, we support Camaquito, an organisation dedicated to helping children, young people and families in Cuba through sports, education, culture and environmental projects.

Camaquito enables access to opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. Sports and cultural activities foster confidence, community and hope - values that are very close to my heart.

I first learned about Camaquito through my brother, who is married to a Cuban. Through this connection, I’ve seen how much joy, creativity and resilience exist in Cuba despite ongoing challenges.

In October, I will travel to Cuba for the first time to learn more about the country, its people and the projects on the ground.

Join me this quarter as we run, cycle, swim and hike for children in Cuba - supporting sport sand cultural programmes for young people.

Earlier this year, I travelled to Kenya. The joy, warmth and strength of the children I met there touched my heart deeply. Their curiosity and openness reminded me how essential education and opportunity are for every child.

That’s why the second project of 42.195 for children supports the Mothers’ Mercy Home (MMH) in Nairobi, a home for orphans, supported by Cargo Human Care e.V.

At MMH, children receive a safe home, nutritious food, medical care and access to education – building the foundation for a self-determined life.

This quarter, every sporting kilometre helps raise funds for this project. Together, we turn movement into opportunity - empowering children through education, confidence and hope.

In the first quarter of 2025, 42.195 for children supports sports therapy for children with cancer at the pediatric oncology department in Munich.

Movement and physical activity are an essential part of recovery. Beyond the physical benefits, sports therapy helps strengthen the body, uplift the spirit and create moments of joy during a very challenging time.

Together, we can help children regain strength, confidence and hope through the power of movement.
