Yes I saw that story too, what a refreshing change to read about such a thoughtful and caring young man. Well done Andrew.

Yes, lovely story isn’t it? Well done to him and all who raise money in this sort of way.It would be easy to be selfish and do nothing when diagnosed with something life threatening.

Here is a link to the story sorry.

I do hope nobody is stupid enough to challenge it's authenticity because it is in the Daily Mail.!

What a lovely story in the Daily Mail today, probably in other papers too.

Andrew Davis has raised £150.000 over 7 years after he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, a rare blood cancer.

Andrew is obviously now 20 years old and has achieved his aim of fund raising £150.000 to ' pay back' the NHS for his treatment. Yesterday he gave the money to Children's Hospital Charity in Sheffield.

What a wonderful ambassador Andrew is for our youth in the UK and ' Well done' Andrew, many will salute you and your hard fought efforts to do such a wonderful, thoughtful thing.
