It’s a nightmarish scenario that makes you thankful for every day you are alive. Within a week of returning home from an adventurous holiday in Whistler, British Columbia, Rebecca Ware unexpectedly died of leukemia. The camera her boyfriend lost during that trip suddenly gained a much greater significance, as its memory card contains many of the last images of Rebecca and boyfriend Matt Lorraway before she died.

Friends of the Australian couple started an awareness campaign in the hope that the camera will be found and the contents of its memory card retrieved. Lorraway lost the Go Pro helmet cam on the mountain near the top of the gondola toward Whistler Village.
