In the presence of colleagues, patients, family and friends, alderman Frank de Wit pinned on the decoration of Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau in the Marekerk church in Leiden. Peters will certainly not sit still after his farewell. As founder of the Female Cancer Foundation, he will continue to fight for a world without cervical cancer.

Eva Jinek ambassador of Female Cancer Foundation

Journalist and presenter Eva Jinek is the new ambassador of Female Cancer Foundation, alongside Jennifer Hoffman.

The impetus for Eva Jinek to become Female Cancer Foundation's ambassador stems from an already existing collaboration. As master of ceremonies at the book presentation on Feb. 26, where Queen Máxima received the first copy of the book "A World Without Cervical Cancer," she was touched by Lex Peters' comment describing that if the disease had affected men, it would have long since ceased to exist.

'The Female Cancer Foundation saves lives - that's already fantastic - but also helps women take control of their health and lives. That appeals to me incredibly. So I am very honored to be able to raise awareness of the work of the Female Cancer Foundation as an ambassador.'
