The story of KT10
We are the Mensing family from Nordhorn/Germany. The picture shows my wife Claudia and me, Ralf. The team also includes our son Dennis and his girlfriend Marlena.
I created “R2-KT10 Germany Team Mensing” to get involved in my friend Albin’s great cause.
We have been collecting donations for children suffering from cancer since 2017. Together with my friend Thomas Dommerdich, I founded the non-profit association Imperathomas e.V. in November 2017. Until today (Nov. 2019) we collected, together with many supporting cosplayers, friends and helpers, nearly 50.000 Euro (approx. $55.000) for children suffering from cancer. 100% of this money is given to the children, to private persons who are in financial need due to the cancer of their child and to institutions (e.g. parent initiatives) which aim to support children suffering from cancer.
But that’s not all. Thomas and I also organized our first charity convention in Gelsenkirchen/Germany on Nov. 3rd, 2018. It was a wonderful family event with more than 600 participants and visitors. The total net profit of the Convention was 5.000 Euro (approx. $5.500), which we also donated to children suffering from cancer. We have planned a second Charity-Con for the year 2021.
My family and I are happy that we have been accepted as R2-KT10 Germany into the wonderful circle of Amassador Droids. From 2020 KT10 will support us in the big task of collecting donations for children suffering from cancer. True to our motto: “For the children – against cancer”.

2021 October: Fighting for Luca!
Luca, 12, has been fighting leukemia for more than a year. The German Pink Force e.V. invited Luca and his family to a cosplay weekend at the Technik-Museum Speyer on September 25. Luca was picked up from the entrance by a Stormtrooper patrol of the German Garrison, Princess Kneesaa and R2-KT11. And there he was quite astonished. And in front of the entrance of the event hall R2-KT10 was waiting for him. Together they went into the hall, where many troopers were waiting for him. There he received a lightsaber and an Obi-Wan Kenobi costume from the German Pink Force. From the sponsoring association of the German Garrison he received a Trooper helmet. Afterwards Luca took a close look at the Technik-Museum and all the cosplayers present. Lots of photos were taken, because Luca is a real Star Wars fan. Keep fighting, dear Luca. You can do it! We know that!

Translation page 1:
Our ultimate goal is to put a smile on the lips of seriously ill children and on their little souls. So that for a moment their serious illnesses fade into the background.
This is done through idealistic, practical, material and/or financial support. And through our personal contact with the children and their relatives. We come directly to their homes or hospitals and sometimes to different places to give them an unforgettable and wonderful moment. Always in cosplay and with many helpers and partners by our side.
We always have gifts for the children. To give them a little variety, we play, dance, sing and laugh with them. Always as their state of health allows. We take a lot of time for the children.
That is why we depend on donations and support.
Every donation is 100% for the benefit of seriously ill children. Help us to continue to realize our ultimate goal and to make children’s eyes shine. No matter where the disease leads the children.
