Stop the Wait:
Tour n’ Cure’s advert featuring Lionel Messi is released. Finally #StopTheWait is here. The world-class advert is definitely worth the wait unlike the excruciating wait of virus C patients.
The advert starts saying that many things can happen in the span of two years, taking Messi’s as an example, reciting the events that occurred in the past two years from wining many finals and losing some, scoring 120 goals with the support of his team, his new baby boy’s birth Matthew, he traveled the world in 64 days, achieved various titles, he got injured, cured and recovered, but at the same time, there is Melanie.
Melanie is a virus C patient and she is waiting! Her life is brought to an abrupt halt because of her diagnosis, just like 100 million others like her who are forced to wait more than two years to start their treatment.
With everything that Messi achieved in the past two years wouldn’t mean a thing if we couldn’t work together to change the lives of Melanie and others liker her. No one of them should wait. #StopTheWait.
Beautifully crafted advert, with an invaluable message, our own achievements and lives means nothing if we couldn’t end the waiting list and help patients.
