I’ve got the sun in my eyes with Uncle Jack, killed in the battle of the Somme.

I’ve got a rare family cancer gene, but I’m going to take my chances.

what don’t kill you only makes you strong.

As my cousin’s wife is in hospital with brain cancer, in the season of corona virus,

I’ve been given my calling to be a kinder, more generous, more compassionate man.

I come from a family of stoics, yet alone heroes.

They put up with the pain and don’t complain.
