“The doctors think I have cancer” were the words that tried to find their way from the phone and into my consciousness. Unfortunately, I have already tried it several times and I am not alone. 1 in 3 people are affected by cancer and 2 out One in three people will get cancer close to their lives as a relative. This means that almost all of us will get cancer close to our lives, at some point or another. What everyone has in common is a crazy experience that turns their lives upside down. .

The voice on the phone was once my mother and the other time my sister, both of whom have been through cancer. The uncertainty, fear and all the other emotions are a completely paralyzing experience. Minutes can feel like days, so even the shortest wait becomes long and both the patient and the relatives can feel powerless.

"Fortunately, both my mother and sister are healthy again."

Fortunately, both my mother and my sister are healthy again and fortunately it is the same for many. The massive effort in this area ensures rapid diagnosis, treatment and much higher survival. The continued effort in this area is important so that we become even better at detecting, curing and ensuring the best possible course of the disease.

Beating cancer is a cause close to my heart, which is why MarMar Copenhagen is donating DKK 50,000 to the Beat Cancer fundraiser again this year. I send hope and my strongest, bravest thoughts to those of you who have cancer close to your heart.

"MarMar Copenhagen donates again this year 50,000 kr. for the collection."
