What a guy! While most of us, whatever our ages, would retreat into a safe corner and lapse into a depression as we reviewed the news of our impending deaths, Stephen Sutton refused to go quietly into that good night, instead choosing life, whatever brief amount remained to him, and made a difference.
In doing so he caught the imagination of a nation, a nation glad it wasn't them, but who were drawn into his philanthropic spell. His bucket list included raising £1 million for charity, but by the time of his death the sum had risen to £3.5 mill- a phenomenal sum for one person in such a short time.
We would do well to follow this marvellous young man's example- not just to raise money for charity, but to live (and love) life like we really were aware we're not here for long- though hopefully to three score years and ten and then some, rather than the misery 19 which is all Stephen enjoyed. So let's get out there, remember Stephen and do some self actualising, or what a friend has called "becoming ones self". Time is short, don't delay any longer!
