"The livestream raised €59 million (250 million PLN), breaking the world record for funds raised via a livestream fundraiser, more than three times the previous record held by an event in France."
"Many Polish famous faces visited the Youtuber in his small flat during the livestream, with several celebrities shaving their heads in support for cancer patients."
"The stream, which began on April 17 and finished on Sunday, turned into a national event, watched by 1.4 million users at its peak, according to the Polish Press Agency."
"After the stream, Bedoes 2115 and Łatwogang appealed to 'change the way we think about cancer' and that 'cancer is not a sentence.'"
Piotr Hancke, known as Łatwogang, streamed for nine days to raise funds for Cancer Fighters, a Polish charity aiding cancer patients. The event featured a charity rap song by Bedoes 2115 and young cancer patient Maja Mecan. The stream attracted 1.4 million viewers and included appearances from various celebrities, including sports stars and musicians. The fundraising goal was €117,000, but the event raised €59 million, setting a new world record. Hancke and Bedoes 2115 encouraged a shift in perception about cancer, emphasizing it is not a death sentence.
