Last January 3 marked the first anniversary of the death of Elena Huelva, the Sevillian influencer who conquered the networks by narrating her fight against cancer. She was only 20 years old, but she left with all the love of millions of people who joined her in her battle to make visible a rare type of childhood cancer: Ewing sarcoma.
A long process in which Elena always remained very optimistic and with very high morale, documenting her good and bad moments on social networks, with a motto: “My desire wins.” Her sister, Emi Huelva, wants to pay tribute to that strength and spirit, who together with José Luis Hernández Arango is preparing the charity documentary My desires win. The story of Elena Huelva, which will be published next spring.
A very personal project from Elena’s older sister, who already showed a preview of what was coming last September through her social networks; but which a multitude of family members, friends and famous people have not hesitated to join, such as the model and presenter Eva González, the influencer Tomás Páramo and, presumably, Sara Carbonero, among others.
“In spring 2024 we will be able to enjoy this charitable documentary made with all the love,” Emi announced then through Instagram. “It’s a very nice project.”
“A project with very very special voices, anecdotes and reflections that embrace the heart,” announced Emi Huelva about the project, which will soon see the light of day after months of work. The documentary can be seen on RTVE and Canal Sur, after its premiere in movie theaters throughout Spain.
Celebrities such as Sara Carbonero, Aitana, Manuel Carrasco or Ana Obregón devoted themselves from the first moment to the young woman from Seville, who was only 16 years old when she was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma in the pelvis with metastasis to the lungs. At that time, the young woman from Seville managed to overcome the disease, but a new relapse in 2020 kept her permanently in and out of the hospital.
It was at that moment when the young woman decided not to give up and, shouting “my desire wins,” she became an example of improvement, earning the affection and love of millions of users on social networks. She herself acknowledged that she was aware that her illness “had an impact,” but she wanted to give visibility to her situation, despite the fact that her condition was worsening by the moment: “We will not sit idly by, we must move forward,” she always insisted.
One of his last messages served to thank all that affection: “I want to make it clear that I have already won, my desire has won for all the love and for the people I have by my side, I have already won. I wanted to thank you for all the love that you have always given me, we are going to continue seeing each other, I love you.”
