At the risk of stating the downright obvious, cancer is a truly awful thing. If I ever get it (and the statistics show there is a bloody good chance I will) I hope to god that I will cope with it in the same way as Stephen Sutton from Burntwood, Staffordshire.<\/p>\n

The nineteen year old was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of fifteen. But instead of moaning and getting depressed, he went and made a bucket list featuring things he wanted to accomplish before he died to help raise funds and give other people the motivation to “enjoy life”.<\/p>\n

It included playing the drums in front of 90,000 people, hugging an elephant and getting a tattoo.<\/p>\n

He has gone on to raise over \u00a31,000,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust; a truly staggering amount.<\/p>\n

The End Is Near<\/h2>\n

It sadly seems like Stephen’s story is coming to an end. He relayed a very touching message to his friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n

“It’s a shame the end has come so suddenly. There’s so many people I haven’t got round to properly thank or say goodbye to. Apologies for that.<\/p>\n

“I will continue fighting for as long as I can, and whatever happens next I want you all to know I am currently in a good place mentally and at ease with the situation.<\/p>\n

“That’s it from me. But life has been good. Very good.”<\/p>\n

\"Stephen<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephen has attracted many admirers, such as comedian Jason Manford, who described his story as ‘inspirational’.<\/p>\n

As Stephen prepares to leave us, there is still a chance to donate to the cause. Simply click on the just giving page<\/a>. Donations have now hit nearly two million. Just give \u00a35; it will leave you with plenty of cash to see escorts, but can make a big difference to someone else!<\/p>\n

Sleep well Stephen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
