This photo means so much to me. You can see a
beautiful, smart and talented woman. Her name is Carey Lander and she was part of
the indie and twee pop band Camera
Obscura, specifically she played the synthesizer and she was the principal
chorus girl. I write in past because she died on October 11, 2015; four years
after her cancer diagnosis.
After she found out about her illness, she
entered to an organization (Sarcoma UK) that collects money to help people with
osteosarcoma, an aggressive malignant neoplasm in a bone (a type of primary
bone cancer). Lander created a page for Sarcoma UK in order to raise awareness
of the disease and lack of funding for research and treatment. Until now (October
30, 2017), the campaign has collected £102,99. In consequence, she was a responsible
and sensible woman; all that you can see in the picture.
Like a curiosity, if you look every photo of
Carey, you could find an effective source of serenity, love and happiness. In
the case of you don’t believe me; her band mates, her family and her fans would
tell you with any doubt that it works.

Lander said: It's probably too late to
help me, but it would be great if we could find something in the future that
means children don't have to undergo such awful treatment and have a better
chance of survival.
