Fabian Bolin is the CEO and co-founder of WarOnCancer.com, an empowering social platform for everyone affected by cancer - patients, survivors and their loved ones. The focus lies on mental health and recovery through storytelling, connection and financial support. Fabian is currently undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and has been selected into the management team for the department of Hematology, Oncology and Endocrine tumors at Uppsala University Hospital.
Events in Fabian's own life are what led him to embark on what he now feels is his purpouse in life: helping everyone affected with cancer. Following business studies at Stockholm School of Economics in 2011, Fabian went on to pursue a career in investment banking at Citigroup in London. After two years of working as a bonds trader, Fabian resigned to follow his passion to work in the film industry. In 2013, Fabian graduated from a one-year method acting course at Brian Timoney Actors’ Studio in London and has since appeared in various productions in London and the US.​
After being diagnosed with leukaemia in 2015 at 28 years of age, Fabian began documenting his cancer battle on a blog, which quickly gained global attention. His first post, shared over 13,000 times on Facebook has led to over 100,000 messages, e-mails and letter of support to date. He later won the award “Journalist of the Year 2015” for his blog by CancerRehabFonden.
By recognizing the power and potential of storytelling and combining it
with a strong urge to empower others affected, the idea of #WarOnCancer was born.A movement to unite the world.
