    Thank you so much for all your comments and reactions which overwhelmed us a little but which show us that we are on the right track. Currently we help 15.000 patients each year. We are a Foundation that operates only through private donations. Should everyone who liked this video make a donation (even a very small one), this would really help us to make the difference every day for many more cancer patients! Have a look at www.mimi-foundation.org.Thank you again!

      I can imagine doing this for people that have lost limbs... have them stand against a white wall and have an artist paint something amazing that appears to be coming out of someones missing arm or leg or foot.

      AMAZINGLY TOUCHING and BRILLIANT! I have shared this video on Facebook. This is not only a great foundation, but a foundation built on compassion and using the "smile" as a medicine. It doesn't get any better than this. BRAVO!!

    My grandma was in this video (3:33), she was fighting a breast then lungs and finally uterus cancer. She got euthanized 3 years after fighting for over 2 years of her life. Today it’s her birthday and seeing this makes me heart happy. She was a wonderful human being and was such an exemple, I love you and miss you so much. Thank you for this video

    Love this. I lost my father to cancer and my father in law was recently diagnosed. Sometimes it takes a spark and a moment of being carefree to really make a difference in their lives.

      please educate your father-in-law on cannabis oil. he doesn't have to die. please research this and find a way to get it or make it yourselves. there are so many places now where cannabis is legal or medically legal; and there is always a way. good luck and deep peace to you and your family. i hope that you take this advice. you won't regret it and neither will your father-in-law. peace.

      It can have a positive effect and it can have a negative effect, research on it is not conclusive yet. There is currently no known cure and you should not present or think of it as a cure, and especially not try and convince people to use it as such without notifying them of the possible negative effects, like increasing the growth of cancer cells which will shorten their life instead of saving it.
      Don't convince people to do something you believe in, inform them of the option instead. We are talking about human lives here.

    Thank you, to all the talented and generous people who helped these cancer patients have their 'second of carefreeness'. Though I think that one second actually lasted far long in their spirits. It gave them something beautiful, magical and perfect, to remember, over and over.

    I was moved to purchase the book because MIMI goes past the ordinary mundane help or thought to be helpful. They and the Center in general, have created a uniquely awesome healing perspective. This would be for those outside trying to grasp what our family and friends truly feel or need, but more importantly for our loved ones who deserve such strength in kindness and TLC, which MIMI certainly provides. This should be duplicated the world over. WOW. Incredible. Thank you very much.

    @davehickman5054 11 років тому +2

    After several years of seeing loss and the side of humanity in suffering, it is truely wonderful to finally see this side of humanity. Most people never want to see the sick. There's a social barrier or stigma, but those whom feel this way forget that the sick are still human, still feel, love, and hurt. How amazing it is to see the outer edges of the human soul in the one second that you've captured. Thank you.

    • @Jabbzz1
      @Jabbzz1 11 років тому +9

      I think that some people interpret this as "you are beautiful as you are", and that you shouldn't need all the make-up and so on to be carefree.
      The media today blows beauty out of proportion, it can make many people, that have lost their looks due to a illness of some sort, have a bad image of themselves.
      I think that it is great that they can have this "second", but they shouldn't HAVE to just have THIS second.. they could have the rest of their life.. just sayin :)

    • @relentlessaddict98jm
      @relentlessaddict98jm 11 років тому +14

      Jabbzz1 It's not trying to make them 'beautiful'. It's trying to make their appearance larger than life and whacky; to give them a moment of care free joy when they see how they look in the mirror haha

    • @Jabbzz1
      @Jabbzz1 11 років тому

      Yeah, I understand that. But I am saying that appearance is a product of our society (wow, i am sounding like a hippie :P), and it should HAVE to be like that.
      But yeah, taking that in mind of course I get it :)

    My wife lost her 12 year battle with NHL this February. We had a lot of carefree moments during our 47 years together, including the last 12.
    I thank MIMI for this video.
    The first time Maril lost her hair (she wound up losing it three times, it grew back differently each time) she was bummed out, but trying not to be bummed out because logically she knew it would happen, but the reality was harder.
    So I shaved my head, walked in with a cap on as she sat in the living room watching TV, and whipped off the cap and said "It's the new style, all the rage".
    One of the better things I did as a husband.
    Damn, I miss her.

And they can look back on that moment whenever they want to which will bring back so much happiness to them whenever they're feeling down about their illness.

    Humans are great. It's really interesting to see how we humans act the same way when we're excited, sad or in pain...I mean, look at their faces, all the same when they saw how they were. Like...who said we should smile and not cry when we're happy?

How the expressions on these beautiful people's faces could inspire anything but awe and tears is beyond me. Meanwhile, it's physically impossible for me to watch this without grinning from ear to ear to ear (sprouting a third spontaneously to accommodate) and wanting to hug everyone involved. Beautiful.

    Very Nice and inspiring. My sister passed away from Melanoma It is sad to see what they have to go through to fight this disease, If even for that one moment they can forget, or smile again It means everything to them. I was fortunate enough to take my sister on a 3 day vacation to California to see her best friend she hadn't seen in 10 yrs. Before the treatment made her too sick. We had the time of our lives and I learned so much more about her than I ever though I could. It is a memory I will always hold dear. She fought for a year and a half before it took her life. Thank you for sharing this video It is beautiful.

      I suppose it depends on what these participants were told was going to happen. I was a little worried that they might have felt horrified or made fun of at a vulnerable point. I'm sure afterwards, knowing the intention, they probably all loved it, but in that moment of shock, you might have felt mocked. I didn't unlike it - but I imagine someone might have for such reasons.

      Volvican Yeah right? I thought of that too. I would feel pretty bad at that moment in that situation. "Come on, they brought me here to make fun of me?" Of course all of them loved it afterwards, as we could see during the final minutes of the video, but in the very moment the photos were taken, I even saw some faces who didn't look very happy with that.
