Story

** Target increased from 400 to 700! Thank you all**
“You can be a victim of cancer or a survivor of cancer. It´s a mindset" - Dave Pelzer.

A father and his son were queueing to see the doctor. The man was a bit pale, did not look healthy, my first thought was that he had cancer and his son was there to support him. They've got into the room and half an hour later, and when they came back, I realised both, father and son, had cancer.  They were hugging each other crying. 

It´s an unfortunate to pass through a situation like this. Few hours later on the hospital, some volunteers dressed like happy clowns, and were there to cheer up all the patients. 

I realised how lucky we all are  to have people that without asking nothing on return, take some of their time after 10h work, far away from their families to cheer up someone they don't know.

Cancer did not change my world. But these people did change me. Let´s support this cause. God bless them.
