Možda izgleda kao luckasto ponašanje, ali svi oni koji su se s kriškom limuna snimili i tako pojavili na društvenim mrežama, učinili su to iz humanog i opravdanog razloga - zbog jedne djevojčice
Izazov s limunom za osmijeh curice: 'Nije na dobrom mjestu'
Annabelle Potts (5) iz Canberre u Australiji oboljela je od difuzne intrinzične pontine glioma (DIPG), rijetke vrste zloćudnog tumora mozga koji pogađa malenu djecu i ne ostavlja im velike šanse za preživljavanje. S opakom bolešću bori se već dvije godine, a zbog toga su joj obrazi posve paralizirani pa se ne može smijati.
Annabelle had a special request today. She wants people to do the lemon face challenge to cheer her up. The best way to raise awareness is to take the video, post it on your Facebook page and tag us in it so we can see it and make Annabelle smile 🍋 🍋 🍋 BACKGROUND: Ok, so you have all heard of the ice bucket challenge, it went viral a few years ago to raise awareness and funds to research ALS. I am SO pleased to let you all know, there is the ‘lemon face challenge’ to raise awareness for DIPG!! This is incredible! It is the most awareness DIPG has ever gotten! This WILL make a difference! America is doing it, let’s make it viral in Australia 🇦🇺 All you have to do is record yourself eating a lemon wedge, explain why you are doing it, share your video on social media and nominate some friends to do it. dont forget to make it a public post so we can show Annabelle ❤️ Please, please participate and share your videos. It is a fun way to raise awareness to a devastating disease. If you are too scared to do the challenge and would like to make a donation which will go directly to DIPG research in Australia, please donate to the Isabella and Marcus foundation: https://donorbox.org/the-isabella-and-marcus-foundation 😉 💜💖💜 #LemonFaceChallenge #LoveForAnnabelle

Liječnici su prije dvije godine njezinim roditeljima Kathie i Adamu rekli kako će malena živjeti još samo devet mjeseci. Svaki trenutak roditelji su koristili da pronađu lijek kojim bi joj spasili život.
Bili su i u Meksiku na eksperimentalnoj kemoterapiji. Nakon što je malena prošla kroz deset kemoterapija, stanje joj se poboljšalo. To je bilo u ožujku ove godine.
Annabelle's Lemon Face ChallengeWe took on the #LemonFaceChallenge to support a brave little Canberran, Love for Annabelle. 🍋🍋🍋 Annabelle, we are sending you lots of love and hope this helps raise awareness of children battling brain cancer. #loveforannabelle #dipgawareness

No, na žalost, nekoliko mjeseci kasnije bolest se vratila i Annabelle je opet završila u bolnici.
Na Facebook stanici Love for Annabelle krajem listopada jedan njezin rođak je objavio informaciju kako se zdravlje malene naglo pogoršalo.
- Annabelle nije na dobrom mjestu. Ne može samostalno disati i jedva komunicira s drugima - napisao je.
For all of the awesome joggers who stopped to do the #lemonfacechallenge yesterday and made Annabelle feel loved 💗 Tag your friends if they are in it 🏃🏻♀️❤️🍋😘 #loveforannabelle #dipgawareness #Aubreighsarmy

Što je izazov 'lemon face'?
Tijekom dvogodišnjeg mračnog putovanja i borbe za život svoje kćeri, Annabelle je uspjela unijeti malo svjetla u cijelu tu mučnu situaciju - i to zahvaljujući limunima.
Jako joj se svidio izazov #lemonfacechallenge na kojem ljudi stavljaju krišku limuna u usta i onda se kiselo nasmiju dok piju njegov sok.
Ovaj trend je pokrenuo 10-godišnji Aubreigh Nicholas iz SAD-a kojem je 2017. godine također dijagnosticirana difuzna intrinzična pontine glioma.

Annabelle je bila oduševljena izrazima lica ljudi koji su sudjelovali u izazovu s limunom u ustima pa je zamolila ljude diljem svijeta da se uključe u izazov i pošalju joj svoje snimke.
Dosad su se odazvale mnoge poznate face - od australske pop grupe The Wiggles do rugby ekipe Wests Tigers.
Mama Kathie je na Facebooku objasnila kako sudjelovati.
- Sve što trebate učiniti je snimiti se kako jedete krišku limuna i objasniti zašto to radite. Nakon toga video objavite na društvenim mrežama i pozovete prijatelje da učine isto. Neka objava bude javna tako da je možemo pokazati Annabelle - poručila je.
Jednako kao što mogu sudjelovati u ovom izazovu, ljudi mogu i donirati novac za njezino liječenje, kao i za istraživanja koja se bave pronalaženjem lijeka za ovu strašnu bolest.
