Keke 

Five year ago in june 2017, Keke stepped out of a taxi and walked into a pub in Saariselkä where we were recovering from an intense assignment about summer skiing. Keke pulled us into the bro world of hobbyist gold diggers for a day in Laanila. We did a reportage. This story does not end there.

Since then I met Keke a few times and he helped to find few people. In June 2022 Keke sent a whatsapp-message: He had something to tell. In a phone call Keke told he had fallen ill with a nervous system disease called ALS. Incurable and lethal, the disease degenerates the nervous system. Keke said he had come to terms with the situation. The doctor had promised a thousand days and Keke would try to live those days to the fullest. Keke thought documenting and showing this phase of his life might be helpful for someone who ends up in the same situation. I visited Keke at his home area in Nellim, Inari.
