Fabian was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2015, and is currently in remission following 900 days of chemotherapy. From his hospital bed, Fabian uploaded a post to Facebook which went viral, attracting thousands of shares within the first 24 hours. Enthused by this response, he went on to blog about his experiences of battling cancer and, through doing this, realised the positive effects that storytelling had on his own mental health, and the impact that a digital platform which allows people from all over the world to share their own experiences, would have – this is why he created War On Cancer.
