So sad to hear that Stephen Sutton has died. His mum's heart is breaking with pride and pain. Stephen knew he was dying but refused to fade away. He made a bucket list and lived his remaining days to the full, hoping to raise £10,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. His courage touched millions and he quickly passed the £3m mark
When he had to go back into hospiial as his bowel cancer took it's tolll, 19-year-old Stehen put a big smile on his face and said,"It's been a great life!' He showed no self pity, only gratitude for the days he lived to the full.
He even joked that he was sorry to disappoint the snipers who saw a brief respite in his condition as a sign that he was not as ill as he said. Stephen left the ward for only a few days before returning. He died early this morning. His mum mourns her " courageous, selfless and inspirational son." What a man.
