Stephen's story
Posted: 23 Apr 2014, 16:09
You may have heard about this very bright and inspirational young man on the News today.
He is a local lad from Staffordshire who for 3 years has been fighting off a cancer that he knew would eventually finish him but in those 3 years he had raised over £560,000, met many famous people who have helped him do this and also done some of the things he wanted to do. He always wanted to raise £1 million for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Sadly his time would now seem to be drawing to a close ( its come on very suddenly as cancers do) but due to some publicity ( i think comedian Jason Manford has played a big part in this) the good people of the UK have pushed his fundraising to over £1.2 million in just a few days.
Not often a tear comes to my eye these days but this does it, both from the point of view on young Stephen and the many people who have helped smash that £1 million barrier very quickly.
Read more about him here if you wish and please help to raise more to fight this horrendous disease.
