Why is it that some people leave behind not just a

Why is it that some people leave behind not just a void, but a call? (ESP ⬇️)

A renowned doctor. A loving father. A talented college student. A teenager who, waiting for his treatments, noticed the distress of other youth.

Could they have envisioned what would spring up in their wake? Hard work, founding documents, offices, organizations? Thousands on the march, covering Paseo Colón in pink? Their names repeated again and again, by loved ones and strangers alike, the words gaining new meaning? Think of it: Anna Ross was once a proper noun. Now it’s practically a verb. Rise, unite, do.

Their deaths—too soon—asked questions. So do all deaths. The living are left wandering, wondering (why? when will mine come? what does it mean?). But some of us let those questions resolve into a statement, an ending. We put a period on it, or a wistful ellipsis…

Others make those questions their life’s work. They let them shape their days. They let the questions drive them: whether to build a foundation, or simply to listen better, to prioritize differently, to live more deeply.

Anna. Enrique. Giancarlo. Daniel. Four whose deaths asked questions. Three who left behind, in those who loved them, the drive to answer: the spark, the grit, the bravery that it takes not to close that question off. To keep on asking. To turn those names into action.

✏️ by Katherine Stanley Obando, dedicated to those who have inspired organizations related to the fight against cancer. In Costa Rica, these include (from top left) Enrique Chavarría Ramírez, who inspired the Association for the Prevention of and Fight Against Prostate Cancer (APRECAP); Giancarlo Malavasi Lachner, who inspired the Fundación Giámala; Dr. Anna Gabriela Ross González, who inspired the Anna Ross Foundation; and Daniel Arce Bobadilla, who inspired Proyecto Daniel. Our weekly Media Naranja column tells short love stories with a Costa Rican twist. During our October edition, “The Future of Cancer,” they are focused on stories related to those who face and treat this disease.

(ESP ⬇️) RT from @dukeandduchessofcambridge: The Republic of Costa Rica is among the winners of the first-ever Earthshot Prize. "With an innovative policy paying citizens to protect the rainforests and restore local ecosystems, the people of Costa Rica and their Ministry for Environment have reversed decades of deforestation. Since the programme launched, Costa Rica’s forests have doubled in size, leading to a boom in ecotourism and contributing $4 billion to the economy".⁠

"Con una política innovadora que paga a ciudadanos para proteger al bosque lluvioso y restaurar a ecosistemas locales, el pueblo de Costa Rica y su Ministerio de Ambiente han revertido décadas de deforestación. Desde el inicio del programa, los bosques de Costa Rica se han duplicado, llevando al ecoturismo y contribuyendo $4 mil millones a la economía".⁠

“Las mujeres hemos sido más fáciles para convencernos de cuidarnos”.⁠⁠

¿Qué pasa con el cáncer y los hombres en Costa Rica? ¿Por qué hay tanta desinformación sobre los exámenes que podrían salvar vidas? Y ¿por qué se ha dejado la decisión de detectarlo tempranamente, únicamente en las manos de esos ya malinformados hombres? ⁠⁠

"The fact that no one talks to men about taking care of themselves is a huge mistake that exists in Costa Rican families."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"We women have been easier to convince to take care of ourselves."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What’s up with cancer and men in Costa Rica? Why do so many myths surround exams that could save lives? And why has early detection been left entirely up to men themselves? ⁠⁠
