People get dealt bad cards all the time. Brittany Maynard is one of those unfortunate souls. She's been diagnosed with stage 4 Glioblastoma - an aggressive form of brain cancer.
On Saturday 1st November 2014, Maynard calls upon Death with Dignity Act to prematurely end her life. Production company LIBá felt compelled to share Marcel Schreur's deeply moving and inspiring story.
"Life is beautiful. Always" says Schreur, himself a long term cancer patient, diagnosed by Specialists as a medical phenomenon; here is his short, compelling video testimonial...
Marcel, aged 51 years has lived most of his adulthood fighting life threatening illnesses:
- Two bouts of tongue cancer.
- Vascular dementia.
- Multiple mini-strokes aka TIA.
- A permanently compromised immune system.
Plus other medical complications, not to mention the mental, emotional, social and physical side affects.
Specialists told Marcel that having children was an impossibility. 26 years later, with 4 children and 3 grandchildren, Marcel lives to tell his tale.
This is Marcel's philosophy to life:
"Life is a gift. All of it.
To give up hope is to give up on life itself.
You're never alone. The light is always shining, in the moon, the stars and beyond the horizon.
You should be thankful for life every single day."
Explore Marcel's journey through his artwork, which express anecdotes from his life.
