Five years after his brother Amund Vold (26) was diagnosed with leukemia, older brother Eivind Vold (31) received his own cancer diagnosis this summer and went through surgery two weeks later. Last week, Eivind began a four-month course of chemotherapy, but he had one final goal before treatment: set the record on the 115km (71.5 miles) stretch across Skagerrak. Watch Eivind’s journey in the movie below.
”AKTIV Against Cancer” strives to make personalized exercise a core component of cancer treatment from the moment of diagnosis and supports research on the impact of physical activity on cancer. The foundation’s efforts extend globally, with initiatives in the USA, Sweden, and Ethiopia.
