Since 2001 the charity run “Auf zur Venus” has been inspiring people around the world to raise funds for the benefit of charitable sports and exercise programs for people with cancer. 2025 marks its 25th anniversary with even more passion, heart and soul and a sense of community.
The traditional starting shot was given at the Marcusbrunnen fountain in the Bremen Buergerpark, Germany, while participants across the globe started their runs from their very own front doors or event locations worldwide, be it individually, with family, friends or colleagues. Whether on foot, by bike, in a wheelchair, paddling, rowing or on horseback – every kilometer covered counts: 50 cents per kilometer go directly towards supporting sports and exercise programs for people with cancer.
As a company contributes to the early detection of cancer worldwide, MeVis participated again this year with an international team! The global MeVis-Varex team showed how strong the team spirit is this year together with international support from the USA our colleagues and their families brought additional energy to the run and demonstrated how MeVis/Varex as a company is not only a technological pioneer but also prides itself on being socially responsible.
In the end, the numbers were impressive: 151 participants of the international MeVis-Varex team covered an impressive 2220 kilometers together. An outstanding success for raising a substantial donation for the benefit of people with cancer.
We are overwhelmed by the camaraderie and enthusiasm of our team – a big thank you goes to the entire international MeVis-Varex team, to each and every individual and to the families who stood behind them. This was an extraordinary achievement by a wonderful team – we are proud of you! And of course, a special cheers to the 25th anniversary of “Auf zur Venus”, which made this Venus Run something truly unforgettable.
