Fabian Bolin is the co-founder (with Sebastian Hermelin) of WarOnCancer.com, the first global storytelling platform for anyone who is currently fighting cancer or has fought it in the past, and for their loved ones. After being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in 2015 at 28 years of age, Fabian began documenting his cancer battle on a blog which quickly gained global attention. His first post, shared over 13,000 times on Facebook (with 27,000 likes) has led to over 100,000 messages, e-mails and letter of support to date.
Fabian and Sebastian decided to launch www.waroncancer.com in June 2016 to give cancer sufferers and their loved ones the opportunity to describe their journeys and a detailed understanding of what it is honestly like to live with cancer.
With an ambition to create a global network of organisations focused on cancer awareness, WarOnCancer.com has so far created partnerships with Worldwide Cancer Research, Cancer Rehab Fonden, World Cancer Research Fund and Leuka. The platform is free to use and financed by the sales of #WarOnCancer bracelets, necklaces and t-shirts with 50% of sales donated to World Cancer Research Fund and Leuka.
Fabian recently won the CancerRehabFund’s Journalist of the Year 2015 award.
