A child who fights against cancer must necessarily undergo a process of checks and treatments that force him to give up part of his childhood and grow up quickly. But this does not mean having to give up even one's dreams, as demonstrated by a photographic project that comes from the United States, entitled Anything can be, "everything is possible".

A child struggling with cancer he must necessarily undergo a process of checks and treatments that force him to give up part of his childhood and grow up quickly. But that doesn't mean having to give up your dreams as well, as demonstrated by a photographic project that comes from the United States, Entitled Anything can be, "anything is possible".
Dreams and imagination have the extraordinary power to support little sick children, instilling them with the necessary confidence to fight against the disease: for this reason, the photographer Jonathan Diaz, a former attorney from Salt Lake City, Utah, offers them the chance to become just what they dream of being - knights, pirates, fairies, mermaids, football players… - setting up some special photographic sets ed fulfilling apparently unattainable wishes. All with a camera, a lot of special effects and the precious help of a group of collaborators.
The project Anything can be it has grown little by little, attracting donations and involving many people eager to give their contribution and give a smile to the brave children who struggle every day against the disease.
A lot of collective work is condensed into a series of truly remarkable shots, which make us smile and soften us and which they push cancer into the background, pushing us to focus on faces and smiles that are finally free and carefree.
Da Anything can be A volume was also born, which combines twenty-one shots made by Diaz with fantastic stories created ad hoc by journalists and authors and which are inspired by photos and their subjects: the book is titled True Heroes, "Real heroes", and wants to instill hope in the little sick, reminding them, in fact, that everything is possible.
