“The Kinder-Lebens-Lauf demonstrates just how many people, companies and organisations are committed to supporting children and young people with life-shortening illnesses. This strong network offers encouragement and gives affected families a public voice,” says Franziska Kopitzsch, Managing Director of the Bundesverband Kinderhospiz e.V.
The starting signal for the 2026 Kinder-Lebens-Lauf, Germany’s largest inclusion campaign under the patronage of Elke Büdenbender, was given at the Brandenburg Gate. The launch event was preceded by a kick-off gathering at the AXICA, which brought together those affected and supporters from the worlds of politics, business and civil society.
