“Today, when I remember her, I try to extend her like freshly washed clothe. I want the best of her life before cancer to stand before me clean and gleaming, moving in the gentle summer wind. And in that whiteness, I want no black stain, the kind that so often, besides killing, clouds memory, reducing the life of those it touches to the vessel of a disease.”

– Afonso Reis Cabral, excerpt from the text “Na Ponta do Focinho” created for the “Tratar o cancro por tu” initiative
