Important
Okay, so I never write about anything important, really. So I thought this would be a great first-important-thing. (After the Hagamannen-post)
I am onair on Soundic Radio this saturday! Swedish Time: 10 PM - midnight. New York time: 4 PM - 6 PM. And you can listen to me anywhere! The talking is in Swedish but if you mail the studio you can write in English and I will talk English to you in the radio!
And as important that might seem it's not THE important thing. On saturday we are having what we call The Cicilia Memorial Day. One of the Soundic Radio founders married a woman named Cicilia last year. She got pregnant and realized early on that there was something wrong, something different from the other three children she's given birth to.
She wanted to see the doctor and multiple times they said nothing was wrong but she listened to her instincs and finally they found a tumour big as an orange in her stomach.
This raised some panic. Their baby, Liam, was born early but thank God, he was healthy. But Cicilia still had to struggle against the tumour, an unusual cancer. The doctors said they were going to do an operation and she could be fine after that. But after the painful operation they told the family that they had found out the cancer had spread. She was not going to live.
She's been fighting the whole summer with chemotherapy and being in the hospital and they didn't know if she was going to live on her Birthday. This Saturday. August 12.
The webradio Soundic Radio (I work as a writer there) wanted to help her fight the cancer, so this Saturday we were planning on raising some money to help her fight the cancer. Cicilia started a fund to support research within this unusual cancer.
The thing is... Cicilia passed away just a couple of days ago.
She was 32 years old.
Left here are her husband and four kids.
Soundic Radio is now going to give 50% of the money we raise to her funeral and 50% to her fund. This Saturday. And anyone around the world can listen if you up to:

Yes, that is important. I'm sad for your loss, but that is the right thing to do- the fundraiser.
Three cheers for the combination of radio, caring and the web!
Between 11 and midnight (yours) we will both be on-air at the same time. The earth may slip out of orbit- fasten seatbelts!
I hope her family is okay. Cancer is aweful and I'm glad her new baby was born healthy. I can't speak swedish so I won't be able to listen to the radio but it's a good thing you guys are doing.
Jag beklagar, verkligen, vännen. :/ Om jag minns & har tid så ska jag lyssna på dig, för visst är det ikväll?
