“Life isn’t easy,” he says. “Everyday is a constant battle to live, knowing that your loved ones are seeing you suffer,” he admits. “Sometimes I feel helpless, but then I remember all those patients who need our help.”

Bjorn then appeals to all locals to tune in to Xarabank on Friday to donate whatever they can towards the second Dar Bjorn. “I’m asking so that on Friday 25th October on Xarabank, you can help me make this dream of mine a reality.”
