With Mika being there and very much involved. The program : many pages in the most important magazines, posters being displayed in Paris and its surroundings, as well as an exceptional display on buildings, movies to be shown in the movie theaters run by Mediavision and UGC, by many internet commercial sites, and in the social networks. In 2014 Peter Lindbergh had already taken lots of photos without compensation to promote the association and the cause to the general public and the campaign reached several million people. In 2015, the campaign is as immensly moving as in 2014. Mika and children fighting cancer shot by the benevolent camera of Peter Lindbergh and the movies directed by Stephen Kidd during our week end in Camargue are all equally moving. Because the word "Cancer musn't rime with children" , the 2015 campaign "The Little Warriors" is totally overwhelming and mobilize people so that the fight against children cancer speeds up. Go, Fight, Win ! Thanks a million as always, Anne !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parce que « cancer ne devrait pas rimer avec enfants », la campagne « Les Petits Guerriers » bouleverse et mobilise pour faire avancer la lutte contre le cancer des enfants. Pendant tout le mois de septembre cette campagne sera sur internet, au cinéma, en affichage dans les rues et dans vos magazines préférés qui ont répondu présent à notre appel, touchés eux aussi par la cause du cancer des enfants. PRESSE ET AFFICHAGE Nombreuse insertions dans les plus grands magazines (Hors Série National Geographic thématique Le Corps, Vital, Questions de Femmes, Marie Claire Enfants, Télé Star – Régionales, Télé Poche – Éditions Régionales, Parents, Femme Actuelle, Version Femina, Ca m’intéresse, L’Expansion, 20 Minutes Ile de France, L’Express, Courrier International, Plugged, Les Cahiers de Science et Vie, L’Auto Journal Evasion 4×4, Géo Histoire, Capital Hors Série James Bond, Challenges, Le Figaro, L’Equipe, Direct Matin, France Football, Marie France, Pariscope) du 20 août au 30 septembre.

AFFICHAGE EVENEMENTIEL Affichage pendant 6 mois sur 6 immeubles de Paris et Région Parisienne à partir de la mi-septembre. Merci au studio Guiraud qui a adapté la campagne dans ce format époustouflant. L’HISTOIRE DE LA CAMPAGNEPour la deuxième année consécutive, le photographe Peter Lindbergh a généreusement accompagné en Camargue Sauvage en mai dernier, 6 enfants atteints de cancer. Le temps d’un week-end, ils ont oublié leur quotidien à l’hôpital. Le chanteur Mika était aussi du voyage. Ces 6 petits guerriers accompagnés d’un parent, du Dr Valteau-Couanet, chef du service pédiatrique de l’Institut Gustave Roussy où ils sont soignés, ont passé un week-end avec Mika et Peter Lindbergh qui a capturé les plus beaux instants de ces journées pleines de légèreté et de bonne humeur. De très belles rencontres et discussions qui ont permis de concevoir la nouvelle campagne de l’association avec des photos et des films réalisés sur une magnifique plage de Camargue Sauvage où Peter Lindbergh a l’habitude de shooter les plus grandes stars. Déjà réalisée gracieusement par Peter Lindbergh, la campagne 2014 avait permis de sensibiliser le grand public et de toucher plusieurs millions de personnes. En 2015, la nouvelle campagne est toujours aussi bouleversante. Elle met en scène Mika et des enfants atteints de cancer face à l’objectif bienveillant de Peter Lindbergh. Les films réalisés par Stephen Kidd lors de ce week-end ne sont pas en reste. En faisant parler des enfants qui utilisent des mots d’adulte pour décrire leur maladie et leur quotidien, ils font ressortir toute la lucidité de ces petits guerriers et leur courage face à la maladie. LE MAKING OFF Pour voir les photos du « Making of » Cliquer ici Un immense merci à Mindshare et Zorba, agences au grand coeur qui ont travaillé sans relâche pour que cette campagne soit visible dans les magazines, au cinema, en affichage et sur internet, et à tous les medias qui généreusement nous donnent de l’espace gratuit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dans celle-ci, on retrouve le chanteur Mika entouré de plusieurs "petits guerriers" très courageux qui témoignent et parlent de la maladie contre laquelle ils se battent au quotidien. google translator The association Imagine for Margo that is committed to research on child cancer unveiled its new awareness campaign. In it, we find the singer Mika surrounded by several "little warriors" very brave who testify and talk about the disease against which they fight everyday. Ils s'appellent Kedy, Maurine et Clément. Ils ont entre 10 et 11 ans et leur vie est déjà marquée par ce fléau qui touche 2500 enfants et adolescents en France chaque année : le cancer. Tous les trois ont participé à la campagne nationale "Les Petits Guerriers", mise en place par l'association Imagine for Margo qui aide la recherche européenne sur les cancers pédiatriques. Celle-ci regroupe les clichés et vidéos de leur week-end passé en Camargue Sauvage, avec trois autres enfants qui souffrent du même mal. Le chanteur Mika, était lui aussi à leurs côtés. C'est le célèbre photographe Peter Lindbergh, déjà présent sur la précédente campagne, qui s'est chargé de capturer les beaux moments de ce séjour. A travers ce projet bouleversant, les enfants évoquent, avec un courage et une lucidité incroyable, leur quotidien face à la maladie mais aussi le futur auquel ils aspirent. google translator They call Kedy, Maurine and Clement. They are between 10 and 11 years and their lives are already marked by this scourge that affects 2,500 children and adolescents in France each year: cancer. All three participated in the national campaign "The Little Warriors", implemented by the Imagine for Margo organization that helps European research on pediatric cancers. This includes the photos and videos of their weekend in the Camargue Sauvage, with three other children with the same disease. The singer Mika, was also with them. This is the famous photographer Peter Lindbergh, already present in the previous campaign, which is responsible for capturing beautiful moments of this trip. Through this project upsetting, children evoke, with incredible courage and lucidity, their daily face the disease but also the future to which they aspire. "J'ai eu neuf chimios", explique le petit Kedy atteint d'un rhabdomyosarcome (tumeur maligne des tissus mous) "Plus tard, j'aimerais devenir footballeur, et quand j'aurai arrêté ma carrière de footballeur, je serai ingénieur automobile." google translator "I've had nine chimios" said the little Kedy diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (malignant soft tissue tumor) "Later, I would like to be a footballer, and when I have stopped my football career, I will be automotive engineer . " Maurine, elle, est fan d'équitation. Mais à cause de ses trois cancers, dont un au rein et un autre au foie, elle a dû tirer un trait sur sa passion. "Ma vie d'avant était très très bien. C'était super, mais après il y a des contraintes", rapporte-t-elle face à la caméra. Du haut de ses 10 ans, elle décrit tout ce qu'elle a subi depuis le début de sa maladie. Mais ces épreuves ne l'empêchent en rien d'imaginer ce qu'elle fera dans quelques années : "Quand je serai grande, je serai peut-être décoratrice ou un truc comme ça. Mais j'ai encore le temps." google translator Maurine, she is a fan of horse riding. But because of its three cancers, one kidney and one liver, it had to draw a line under his passion. "My life before was very good. It was great, but then there are constraints," says she facing the camera. From its 10 years, she describes all that she has suffered since the beginning of his illness. But these tests will prevent anything to imagine what it will do in a few years: "When I grow up, I will perhaps decorator or something like that but I still have time.". "Je ne vais plus à l'école depuis six mois maintenant", affirme Clément, 11 ans, qui a lui aussi un rhabdomyosarcome, "Tous les jours il y a des allers-retours à l'hôpital, la radiothérapie, la chimiothérapie. Sinon l'hôpital de jour. De temps en temps on est aussi à la maison, là je peux jouer." Assis au bord de la mer, loin de l'hôpital pour quelques temps, il exprime une pensée que nous partageons tous : "Pour moi les enfants c'est censé jouer, aller à l'école, apprendre pour plus tard, s'amuser et profiter de la vie."Tous finissent par ces mots : "Je suis guerrier, et je me battrai." google translator "I'm not going to school for six months now," said Clement, 11, who also rhabdomyosarcoma, "Every day there are round trips to the hospital, radiation, chemotherapy. otherwise the day hospital. from time to time we are also at home, where I can play. " Sitting at the edge of the sea, away from the hospital for some time, it expresses a thought that we all share: "For me the children is supposed to play, go to school, to learn later, have fun and enjoy life. "All end with these words: "I am a warrior and I will fight." "Ce week-end avec les enfants atteints de cancer est très fort. Il nous remet les pieds sur terre, nous fait mesurer notre chance", a déclaré Peter Lindbergh. Quant à Mika, il raconte : "Il y a tant de force en eux. On s’amuse beaucoup car ce sont des enfants avant tout. Mais il y a aussi une telle maturité chez eux. C’est une vraie leçon de vie." Patricia Blanc, la présidente de Imagine for Margo, précise que la recherche est principalement centrée sur les cancers des adultes et que seuls 2% des fonds sont consacrés à la pédiatrie. Et parce que "cancer ne doit pas rimer avec enfant", l'association en appelle à la générosité de chacun pour les aider et faire en sorte que cela change. Tout le monde peut soutenir leur combat en se rendant sur le site imagineformargo.org, pour faire un don, participer à une course solidaire ou encore organiser une action. Espérons que la campagne, lancée en septembre à l'occasion du mois international du cancer des enfants, parvienne à sensibiliser un maximum de monde à leur cause. google translator "This weekend with children with cancer is very strong. It puts us back down to earth, makes us measure our luck," said Peter Lindbergh. As for Mika, he says: "There is so much strength in them lots of fun because they are children first But there is also such a mature home. It's a real lesson in life.... " Patricia Blanc, the president of Imagine for Margo says that research is mainly focused on adult cancers and only 2% of the funds are devoted to pediatrics. And because "cancer does not rhyme with child", the association calls for everyone's generosity to help them and make a change. Everyone can support their struggle by visiting imagineformargo.org, the site to make a donation, participate in a race or organize solidarity action. Hopefully the campaign, launched in September at the international month of child cancer awareness reaches a maximum of people to their cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2009 Margo had started a fundraising while she was being ill. Although she was only 14 , she had managed to mobilise 100 000 euros and that money lead to an important discovery about her particular illness. So we could see that through her fight, and her funraising that we could both get people involved around us and that if it is done aiming at a precise research project,it doesn't take several years to see the first results. Cancer in children happen for one child among 440 children developing cancer before the age of 15 and among those one out of five will not be saved. Two years ago, Imagine for Margo took the initiative to take children who suffer from cancer and have to stay in hospital on a week end out. The goal was to give happiness to those children and I think those moments were extremely intense and moving and behind those moments of happiness, behind this solidarity which was created , there was also another motivation. A wish to share this, to inform more people about what was happening , what was at stake, and how much we need to move onwards and to be supported. That's why thanks to Peter Lindbergh and his team, thanks to Mika, we're starting a beautiful and big campaign aiming at helping research against children cancer . There are very few images about children cancer, and when we took conscience of that we told ourselves :But , it would be good to have real images, that would make people understand what children cancer is. And so I wrote an e-mail to Peter Lindbergh , whom I knew for other reasons, because I thought he would be the only one photographer able to do this. He will find himself with children fighting against cancer, we need someone who is sweet and kind, who has really a special contact, and so he created a dream week end for six little warriors , so we had a photographer , we had children, but we lacked an ambassador, and so we were thinking it would be good to have Mika. And one the day when he wore his butterfly jacket in The Voice , we told ourselves it had to be him. Mika: I told myself, it's a beautiful adventure, we all know the idea of illness that is children cancer but if you haven't had a personal experience of it, it's hard to understand what it is exactly, and how children react and how it changes their own lives the lives of all the people in their family. And I met the children and they were amazing! We went to the beach, we played games, we took pics, then we built sand castles, then we went to a restaurant, we heard a flamenco concert, they had had enough of flamenco so they forced me to sing, so I sang. And then there was one of these young boy whose name was Noé who had had enough of hearing me sing, so he decided to sing , so he went on the stage and started singing. It was so funny, so frank, so filled with life, life was everywhere, they didn't censor themselves, those people, those little people, those little adults, they can change everyone's lives around them. It was very moving. I was on The Voice set, shooting the second season, there is a woman who comes to me and says: I need to talk to you; she was Noé's mother, who explained to me that Noé had died, then I also received a letter from Juliet's mother, who was thanking me for that week end, how it was the most beautiful memory of Juliet's childhood, but that she has died too. And so , suddenly it was true, it was not just a week end, it was something true and I associated myself in a much closer way this year with the project. It was an obvious choice, it was a choice I had made with Peter and it's totally thanks to him if I'm here today. The little warriors are here, they teach us so much with their huge courage, and we count on you to help us talk about our cause, about our beautiful campain, and help us develop new treatments for the little warriors. Maurine, ten years old : I have cancer here, here and here. My treatements were chemio, surgeries, I'm a little warrior and I fight. It's necessary! Mika: Today , help us and give to research against children cancer. Edited September 23, 2015 by Kumazzz updating 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
