that Stephen Sutton passed away this morning.
A young man who wanted to raise a few thousands pounds (I think the target was £10 000) for the Teenage Cancer Trust after he was told his cancer was terminal. A young man whose determination to reach his aim drew the attention of lots of people, some of them famous - most of them regular people like us, with most of these strangers donating to his chosen charity. This has resulted in over £3 million being donated to date
My heart breaks for his family - the pain they must be going through right now is unimaginable; but the pride they must have in their son for what he indirectly achieved hopefully will see them through these difficult times
