Through our 12 People. 12 Cameras. 12 Months. project with Fujifilm, 12 individuals from around the world—who have been participating since September—captured their April moments in a photo under the theme “My Cancer Hero.”

Eduardo Uchoa was one of these 12 participants. Since his passing last week at the age of 36, we have been holding Eduardo in our thoughts. We remember him with deep gratitude and dedicate this post to his memory. His words stay with us: “to dream, to live, and to be grateful every day.”
