On October 24th 1999, I sat by my mom’s side as she died. I was 21, she was 43 and it still makes no sense.
Her name was Anna-Klara and she loved hugs, warm weather and salty liquorice.
There’s not a lot in this world that I hate – in fact I love it to the most part. But there are certain things I just can’t seem to find any good in and cancer is right on the top of that list. I hate cancer and the fact that it just ate my mom from within, only to die with her. It’s so pointless it makes me weary just thinking about it.
This October marks 15 years since her passing and I want to do something for her. And I want my very first project here to be about that; about her and about fighting cancer.
This project involves me, my sister, photography, charity and action. And, if my plan works out, a whole bunch of people saving lives through a small donation.
My goal is to collect 15000 SEK before October 24th – 1000 kronor for each year she’s been gone. I have set up a fundraising page for mum – at the Swedish Cancer Fund. All money raised go straight into their research fund (not through me to be clear).
There will also be more to this project – so stay tuned…
…oh, and while you wait – click to #fuckcancer!

Tack för fina ord Sara! Livet är verkligen en risk i sig på sätt och vis, men att maxa det är du en sån förebild i! Nu kör vi, allt vad vi vill! Puss på dig!
