If Only For A Second




Cancer patients talk about how, once they received their diagnosis, they could never just forget their illness for a moment. One patient put it simply in when she said, "You know what I miss the most? Being carefree."

The Mimi Foundation invited twenty cancer patients to enjoy a makeover. They only stipulated that they keep their eyes shut until it was done. Then they gave them the most outlandish wigs and makeup you can imagine and filmed their reactions. It was in that moment that they forgot all about cancer and reveled in the moment. Photographs from the event were published in a book so that the participants can always remember that time they were truly carefree. (via Viral Viral Videos)
