Oscar Magnuson was interviewed at TV4's News morning yesterday, he has designed a tealight candleholder to the Tobias Registry, the Swedish registry for blood stem cell donors. The registry was founded in 1992 by the parents of Tobias Storch, who died at the age of 17 while waiting for stem cells.
Nicole Silverstolpe, the CEO of Tobias Registry, tells that the registry has given a flower bouquet to the blood stem cell donors as a thank you. But they were thinking that they needed a more sustainable gift and started thinking if they knew someone, who could design it. And then they remembered Oscar Magnuson.
Now the Tobias Registry gives the tealight candleholder as a gift to the blood stem cell donors.
Oscar tells how he designed the candleholder. He also tells about his mother's blood cancer diagnosis, how it affected the whole family. Princess Christina is doing very well, has been healthy for some years already, her blood stem cell donor was a perfect match.
