- 20 cancer patients participated in a unique makeover experience.
Discover more in www.mimi-foundation.org/en/ifo...
The 20 participants were invited to a studio. Their hair and makeup were completely redone.
During the transformation, they were asked to keep their eyes shut.
A photographer then immortalized the moment they opened their eyes.
This discovery allowed them to forget their illness, IF ONLY FOR A SECOND.

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've just watched it. I laugh and cry, beautiful idea. My respect
and love from Córdoba, Argentina.
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.
This is absolutely beautiful. I lost my mother to cancer and I'm glad there are those like yourselves working to better the lives of patients. Brought tears to my eyes. =']
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!!
I have just one word for you guys: WOW! I have always wanted do something like this to humanity myself. When I finish my university and graduate in a few years I will start making people happy! :)
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
Louise Adams I love her sweet expression of surprise❤️
As a cancer survivor and professional photographer......I consider this one of the best videos on youtube!! I love this!!
I have saved this video years ago, and till this day I find myself re-watching it over and over. The pure smile and laughs they have make me feel good. Especially when I'm having an awful day like today.
Made me cry. Not an elegant rolling tear, but full gasps and red eyes. May we all be in the moment, all the time.
Superb!
Short makeover film with a carefree and emotional vibe of each cancer patients emotions in a short second.
I shed a tear or three to this also when I first saw it.
Absolutely amazing...!
Si tan solo por un segundo...... hmmm buena apreciación para nuestras vidas... si tan solo por un segundo...
When one moment matters so much. Beautiful.
As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way
Very touching! Sent to me by my daughter who is beautiful without hair right now, because of chemo for colon cancer. Thank you Stacey for sending it to me! I love you very much and I am in awe of your awesome attitude through your ordeal! This video is so sweet!
Hope she will be fine!
This video brought me to tears... you guys are amazing for doing this
Truly amazing!
thank you VERY much all people involved
such a nice idea!
there are still good people on this planet ...
This made me laugh. Then it made me cry. Then it made me laugh again. Brilliantly beautiful! Thank you for bringing moments of joy to these precious people!
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.
So touching ❤️ Actually you can heal cancer with changing diet 😳

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.
Sophie's Lifestyle You make proof of a huge lack of sensibility towards all those who are fighting against this terrible illness in so many ways...
it is really touching
can you believe this? my eyes suddenly got sweaty while watching this... Oh God this is brilliant. May God bless you all good people of the world.
It's moments like these that remind me of our inherent beauty as humans, thank you for making me cry like a baby!
Amazing. Touched by their priceless smiles on their faces. Pure delight, if only for a second.
Cancer is one of, if not the toughest challenge to the human spirit. My heart goes to all afflicted by it. Watching these brave people smile brings a tear and a HUGE smile to me.
This genuinely brought a tear to my eye.
This was beautiful.
This video makes me believe in humanity. Truly beautiful.
I have watched this twice now and cried both times. How magnificently beautiful.
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.
Being carefree, surprised, and joyous, all captured in a second.
Totally beautiful!
I'm actually crying a little bit. This is truly wonderful and beautiful.
To see people around the world with outstanding ideas, to make people happy and laughing for a while, to bring a lightened moment into inner darkness... so touching ♥
You can cry ... if only for a second !!
How can you dislike this ? I DONT UNDERSTAND THESE GUYS
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 :)
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
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 :)
This was so emotional. It made me cry! Thank you for what you do and sharing it with the world.
Loved watching this, it is true that to forget an illness anyone of us is afflicted by, releases positive enzymes that can actually help in a pathway to a cure.
May all beings be released from suffering.
Overwhelmed with this. I am currently fighting triple negative breast cancer. I am 31 and this has taken me by surprise. I wish I could be a part of something awesome like this. So wonderful.
I can't stop crying.
This is magical!! My face was just as expressive watching their reactions, amongst other things, made me grin from ear to ear, thank you to all!!!
smiles when they smiled when they looked, moved me!
I lost my daughter Mimi yes Mimi to cancer the day before her 31st. birthday. I love this video. I had all but forgotten when we went to pic out the wig. We laughed so hard that day. We would just pick one out and try it on. It was so much fun. Thank you for what you do
LOVE THIS! MADE ME CRY!
Priceless , made me cry :)
Beautiful, this made me tear up. Bless you who did this for these people. You give me hope for the world, cause there is still people out there who have love in their soul. Thank you
This made my heart ache and smile at the same time. This video also reminded me of how precious each second in your life is. I love the cute transformation and the crazy wigs too.
wow so brilliant!!! I didn't really understand until I could see what the photographer saw, then it all made sense why I had tears.
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.
Thanx Angel for this creation. Its what bring the dignity and self-love for one who live with Cancer. I remember the day I wend with my (passed on) wife to take all hair away after Chemo and how it was powerful in her path when I show her how beautiful she is... seeing from my heart. ♥
This project gives life..
love & light to all. ♥
Love the slo-mo reactions.
This is beautiful! I think a branch of palliative care should be focus on doing things like this.
Absolutely beautiful video! Definitely cried a little. What gorgeous people!!
Take a bow Mimi Foundation. I lost my aunt to cancer few weeks ago and she went through a lot of physical and emotional turmoil for close to a couple of months prior to that. I really appreciate your effort to ease their lives a bit.
This is brilliant!
Great video.. Thanks to Mimi Foundation. Hair is a good thing :)
I'm crying oh my god
NE SERAIT-CE QU'UNE SECONDE ! Ca me fait tout les frissons de voir cette vidéo, je pense a eux ! Une vidéo très émouvante !
Beautiful Project of Mimi Foundation !!! One second to forget the illness is a way to give these people a million of seconds of happiness.
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?
Humans....
Beautiful
I can't stop watching to this! is unbelievably pure...thank you so much for these precious moments of consideration.
Even sick people deserve to be happy! Thanks for sharing this to the world, it touches our heart!
Magnifico y muy inspirador!!
This video is beautiful. I definitely shed a few tears and laughed a good bit haha.
I have no words to describe the feelings while watching this vid. Simply beautiful. There's still a place for hope in this world. :)
A record of a moment of joy that will be forever stored in the memory of all who had the privilege to participate and to have access to this video. #exciting #authentic and #verycreative. :)
May god be with them , shade them with his mercy and help them become better individuals , we all have our struggles but we shouldn't give up , Fight for you last breath
okay, you got me... i cried...
Those smiles! I wanna hug all of them! and the person behind this! thanks for giving humanity a great value!
Oh what a wonderful sight. All those smiles and gasps of joy...
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.
Know how you feel. Lost my mum a month ago after a year fighting a rare form of a sarcoma.
This made me so happy :)
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.
What a wonderful thing to do. I can't imagine how exciting it was for the artists. The cancer patients faces are joyously amazing. Well done!!
Priceless !
Someone was cutting onions the whole time I watched this!!
Beautiful.. made me cry. 1038 people need to re-think their emotional plane for humanity. Can't believe 9 years! And I still cry seeing this... God bless each and every one of these precious gifts from God.
First time im convinced that there are people who still care.For that second of a smile so much effort is worth the time :)
Beautiful story
Wonderful. Thanks Brett.
beautyfull action....tears in my eyes.
Imagine if these people liked how they looked...On a side note favriouted and liked..Amazing and respect to all of you diagnosed with cancer.
You were so amazing! Thanks for remember us, life's worth, only for a second. Hugs from Mexico!
I cried smiling :)
People I am writing a petition and sending it to Ninja headquoters asking them to stop cutting onions!!!
All the best!
What awsome thing to have done for these people, they are beautiful inside out!! And how could anyone dislike this!?!
Adorei. Parabéns por este fabuloso trabalho. De Portugal. Obrigado :)
so many onions around me ...
who the hell disliked this? fucks sake!!!
So very heartwarming, seeing those who are in pain just to forget their miseries even just for a moment. It made me cry a little bit. God bless these people who made these patients very happy.
this video makes me think of my grandmother who passed of cancer last year. i can't help but get emotional over the battle that all these beautiful people are going through. what you are doing to help them forget, even for a second that they are sick is truly a great thing. GOD will reward your kindness in ways beyond your comprehension. MERCI MILLE FOIS POUR TOUT CE QUE VOUS FAITES!!!
Это что-то невероятное. Просто люди сделали - ДОБРО...
My mom needs to do this.
Diagnosed this October I know exactly what these wonderful people are feeling: for a miraculous moment they are let out of the cage. Thank you :)
Wow, having an aunt who died from cancer and went through the same thing with losing her hair, this is really really touching.....and I enjoyed seeing their expressions so much at the end, it was very emotional and wonderful all at the same time.
This is such a beautiful idea x wishing you all the best future health x
I CRIED.
Absolutely beautiful to see the human spirit revealed in their faces. Much Love xxxx
I love this video, it may have some wild and crazy hair styles etc. but it gave these people a reason to get away from their every day lives of illness even for a few minutes, and be able to laugh, be surprised etc. even express some joy, so badly needed to help with their healing process! good work! :)
:') aw, this is really beautiful.
shed a tear....
So true and if you don't you're NOT human!
freedomseaker1
im robocop
really thats so sad
One second of joy could make so much difference and bring HOPE to these people! GOD bless you all.
That's AMAZING! I always believe photography should be about life and hope, and love of course!
oooooh the feels !
Okay...I cried...
Cried my eyes out! This is beautiful. Bless you and everything you do.
Beautiful .... absolutely beautiful! To see their faces light up with surprise, joy, happiness and to just be carefree for those seconds/minutes...
Lie down......try not to cry....cry a lot.....
Damn onions ...
+Emeric Le Bars Yeah, onions, that's what it was. Lost my wife of 44 years to NHL after a 12 year battle. This one hurt big time, but kind of in a good way. Maril would have loved it.
Brought tears to my eyes, man....
Cancer will be defeated!!
Their smiles and infinite happiness even for a second are simply unforgettable.
Firstly, I was sad, but now I feel amazing because they do! :)
