The case in summary: The TV action is missing over 80,000 gay carriers nationwide, one and a half weeks before the start. This year’s collection goes to the Children’s Cancer Association, which will establish family houses at the university hospitals in Tromsø, Trondheim, Bergen and Oslo. The family houses will give children with a serious illness the opportunity to live with their family while they receive treatment. The Leinonen-Skomedal family wish the offer had existed when their youngest son received cancer treatment. County action leader in Trøndelag, Siri Krogness Forsnes, thinks people may have forgotten how important it is to go with gays. Over the past two years, the pallbearers have collected NOK 90 million, of which NOK 40 million was in cash. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI.

This year’s collection goes to the Children’s Cancer Association, which will establish family houses at the university hospitals in Tromsø, Trondheim, Bergen and Oslo. There, children with serious illnesses can live with their families while they receive treatment. – It is something that we could hardly have imagined when we were in hospital, says Linda Leinonen-Skomedal. When her son, Sondre, was eight months old, he developed blood cancer, and has been treated for it at the hospital in Trondheim. The purpose of family houses: Families avoid being split up even if they live far away from the hospital. Children with a serious illness may have the whole family with them during the treatment period. The parents can take care of all their children, themselves and each other. Siblings are included, seen and looked after. The families can find peace and get to live a more normal everyday life in a difficult situation. Source: TV-aksyonen.no – It’s one thing to be in that situation, which is almost unbearable, when the person you love is seriously ill. But in addition, you have to deal with the other part of your family. We had boys aged three and five, who were at home while we were in hospital, says Leinonen-Skomedal. – Now we were lucky to have grandparents who could take care of them, but I could do anything to experience some normality in everyday life. Missing thousands of gun carriers In the last two years, the gun carriers have collected NOK 90 million, but just over a week before the action on 20 October, they are missing over 80,000 gun carriers nationwide. The goal is to have 100,000. County action leader in the TV action Trøndelag, Siri Krogness Forsnes, thinks people may have forgotten that it is still important to go with gays, and perhaps see the action as digital. – But if no one comes and calls, you forget about it. That is why the gay action is so important. Linda Leinonen-Skomedal’s son had himself appreciated a family home when his son had to be treated for cancer. Here she stands with the county action leader in Trøndelag, Siri Krogness Forsnes.

Then you can choose where you want to go, and you will join the world’s biggest charity. Two-hour Sunday trip on 20 October – we need you, she says. Put the tooth money in the bag Sondre’s older brother, Magnus, has recently lost his first tooth. The money he got from the tooth fairy – he wanted to put it in the bag. – The tooth fairy was generous this year, and Magnus figured it out himself that he wanted to give it to the TV campaign, and put the money in the bag, says Leinonen-Skomedal. The money Magnus got from the tooth fairy he has chosen to give to this year’s TV campaign. When he was three years old, his little brother got cancer. Photo: Jøte Toftaker / news This kind of commitment is appreciated by Forsnes. – It’s really fun, and very moving. That says something about how we can get involved. Firstly, that the children see that there is still cash, but also contribute to helping others. We value that solidarity in the TV campaign, she says. Published 09.10.2024, at 22.22
