Founder of "Kartu lengviau"
(1979.04.30 - 2009.05.01)

In 2008, “Kartu lengviau” was founded by the most active Lithuanian brain tumour patients and their relatives. The initiator of the organization was Ingrida Blažytė-Byčiuvienė (R.I.P), an English teacher, who fell ill with a brain tumour in 2007, at the age of 27. She struggled with the illness for two years, and she dedicated those years of her life to actively working within “Kartu lengviau”.

 

For numerous Lithuanian patients Ingrida became an inspiring illustration of living one‘s life to the fullest and cherishing every single day of life.

 

“Kartu lengviau” unites brain tumour patients, their relatives, medical staff, and students. The name of the organization literally means “Easier together”. The main intention of this organization is to unify brain tumour patients and their families in Lithuania, to provide them with relevant information, with psychological and financial aid if possible, and to acquaint society with the illness by raising awareness of it.

 

In November 2009 Kartu Lengviau’s "The book for the patient” was published. The book covers many important topics (treatment modes, psychological aspects, advice about convalescence, etc.) for brain tumour patients and relatives.
