Farrah Fawcett‘s closest friends and family members gathered together on the one year anniversary of her death and dedicated a cancer-research foundation in her name on Friday.
Alana Stewart, Ryan O’Neal, Tatum O’Neal, and Redmond O’Neal were among some of the guests in attendance.
The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which Farrah had founded during her struggle with cancer, helps fund alternative cancer research and treatment methods and aims to improve the quality of life of those who are currently struggling with the disease.
Her best friend Alana Stewart said:
“If I can help carry on Farrah’s mission for the foundation, it’s an honor for me. I feel almost like she’s a guardian angel watching over me, and I feel like she’s smiling down on us and very happy that she died for a cause. She felt that she could help a lot of people and she could give a lot of people inspiration, courage and hope. That’s why she did the documentary and that’s why she started the foundation.”
Farrah’s son Redmond, who got a day pass from the sober living facility where he’s undergoing court-ordered drug rehab to visit his mother’s grave on the anniversary, was said to be extremely emotional. Father Ryan O’Neal said, “He lost her, and he’s fragile.”
So sad.
We hope Farrah’s family can find peace in helping others who are fighting cancer.
