At the Brain & Co Foundation, we are dedicated to securing more funding for extensive research and improved treatments for brain tumors in both adults and children.


A new name
“Brain & Co” has been chosen to appeal to a broader audience and strengthen the focus on brain tumors, aiming to garner more support and engagement, especially from potential supporters, donors, and stakeholders who wish to contribute to the fight against brain tumors.
- We fund research focused on the prevention, treatment, and ultimately cure of brain tumors.
- Commitment to Brain Cancer Research: Our Key Mission.
The Brain & Co Foundation, formerly known as the Second to None Foundation, is dedicated to raising funds for expanding research into brain tumors and promising projects related to preventive treatments. Proceeds from fundraising efforts are allocated to the brain cancer research teams at the internationally renowned Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital in Amsterdam and the Prinses Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht.
A tribute to Aniek
In tribute to Aniek Hendriksz, the brave sister of Jacobien Hendriksz, who laid the foundation for the foundation, which Jacobien now leads with unwavering determination. At just 30 years old, the world lost Aniek to a relentless grade 4 brain tumor. For six courageous years, she fought like a lioness, never losing hope and with an inexhaustible will to conquer. Her legacy lives on in the foundation, dedicated to continuing her battle and providing support to others in similar situations, serving as an inspiration and a reminder of the strength found in determination and love.
