“I’ve been working with the CF foundation for a decade and met many fighters, but the story of Love completely stole my heart. And even though I keep my fingers crossed for every fighter, I keep my fingers strong today for Miłosz. I lay my hands in prayer and sending my thoughts and energy for his complete healing. 🙏🏼Cancer does not choose, and the diagnosis can come down like a thunderstorm. Suddenly and unexpectedly – “Often the cross is oppressed, it is difficult to get up then, to find the meaning of further existence.” But I say to you, rise and fight. This is your life, your greatest treasure” ~ Great Mark St. Petersburg. We won’t stop @fundacja_cancerfighters “
