Bjorn Formosa’s health is currently in critical condition, having been taken to Mater Dei Hospital in order to save his kidneys due from severely painful kidney stones.
Doctors informed those close to Bjorn that he is facing a massive challenge ahead due to the impact the kidney stones are having on his well-being. Bjorn himself was ending up out of breath and unable to speak due to the intensity of the pain.
However, he was reported in saying, prior to his visitors leaving, that: ‘With or without me, the 25th of September marathon has to happen. We need to help lots of people.’
A statement by friends of Bjorn read: ‘You can’t not love him. He is in critical condition, and yet, he still has his mind set on helping others. Incredible… but that’s Bjorn. Keep him in your prayers!.’
On behalf of MaltaDaily, we wish Bjorn a speedy recovery and urge anyone who can contribute to the cause to help in any way, no matter how small!
