The Spirit of Action “LIVE FOR LIFE”
All people are brought to life to live. However when faced with difficulties, people lose hope and feel devastated. It is okay to stop and feel hopeless in times of trouble, but we must stand up again and slowly take a step forward. And remember − we were brought to this world to live and to shine. “LIVE FOR LIFE” is our “message for life” to you.
This action was inspired by the hope of Minako Honda, a singer who unfortunately is no longer with us. During her battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), she felt the deep love of those around her more profoundly than ever before. Struck by the deep meaning of life, she realized how beautiful it was to live. Because of this, she strongly hoped to conquer her disease so as to go back on stage to sing and to encourage other people who are fighting diseases.
Although her wish did not come true, her spirit touched our hearts deeply and our movement has begun. We must not forget the bright life Minako has brought to us, and turn her wish, which she never had the chance to achieve, into reality. We intend to take various actions under the slogan “LIVE FOR LIFE” to support people in their search for a brighter future whether they suffer from leukemia or any other disease.
We would like you to be part of “LIVE FOR LIFE” as a promoter to make our actions a global movement for people all over the world to remember the true meaning of life. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.

LIVE FOR LIFE Activities
We are creating an organizational network which allows patients and their supporters to be able to respond to various problems and necessities they might have, by submitting reports and needs requirements to medical policy authorities. Donations to institutions studying leukemia are also a part of our activities. Some plans for concerts, CD’s, goods and book sales for the purpose of promoting closer relationships between leukemia patients and their supporters are underway. |
