He suffers from cancer
Captain bursts into tears after this action
Moving pictures from Sweden! Marcus Heman, captain of Kalmar AIK FK, has been diagnosed with cancer. As a sign of solidarity, his teammates and coach shaved their heads bald. Heman burst into tears.
It's not an easy time for Heman: a month ago, the 24-year-old was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Chemotherapy is the result. His team wants to support him as much as possible and is doing so with a touching campaign.
A video from the club shows the players reaching for the hair clippers and welcoming Heman into the dressing room. When he enters the room, sees all the hair on the floor and then looks at his players, the captain is in tears. Moved, he hugs his teammates.
Midfielder Olle Björkegren shows that he has gone one step further. He had the letters "MHFC" tattooed on his left arm. The meaning: Marcus Heman Fuck Cancer. Heman is very touched by the encouragement in his fight against cancer. "Are you serious?" asks the stunned cancer patient and takes Björkegren in his arms.
"I'm at a loss for words"
In an interview with the Swedish sports newspaper "Sportbladet", Heman says: "The club has given me so much love. It has helped me to digest everything and to feel that it is possible to get through. I don't have the words to explain how much my teammates mean to me. He said he wanted all the messages to be delivered with an optimistic undertone. "I don't want any sobs," said Heman.
There is great solidarity not only within his team, but also in the fifth Swedish league. On one match day, Kalmar collected 160,000 Swedish kronor (approx. 14,000 euros) for Heman and his family.
