Michael Jackson made some incredible music during his career and it was a real shame when he died at the end of June 2009. Liam Fairhurst died a week later and whilst he was globally not as famous, what he achieved in his short lifetime is equally incredible.

Now, I don’t suppose Liam’s name will mean much to you, but he used to live in a village not far from me and when he was 10 years old, Liam was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 2 years to live. He finally lost his battle this month at the age of fourteen, but during the four years between his diagnosis and his death, Liam raised £320,000 for CLIC Sargent, a charity for child cancer sufferers and their families.

His amazing efforts won him the Pride of Britain and Children of Courage awards, as well as a meeting with UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Liam always thought of others, never himself and remained cheerful till the end.

He was an inspiration to many and a credit to his family who said of him  -

“Liam was a light that shone in our lives and stood as a beacon of hope, courage and inspiration to so many people. The legacy he leaves behind will far outweigh the grief and emptiness we feel at this time”.

His wonderful personality, positive attitude, guts and sheer determination were amazing, and Duncan Bannatyne of Dragons Den fame once said of Liam -

“He’s the sort of person who makes you stand back and take stock of your own life”

Liam Fairhurst was a remarkable, courageous and inspiring young man and a credit to his generation who often get a bad press. He was always upbeat inspite of his pain and circumstances, and will be remembered most for his smile, so whenever you’re having a bad day, smile and think of Liam.

You’ll feel a whole lot better.

Liam suffered from Synovial Sarcoma, a tumour in his leg, but there are over 200 different types of cancer and many scientists believe most can be attributed to toxic chemicals in our environment.

Unquestionably the cancer rates have increased over the years. It is the second leading cause of death today and yet in 1901 the incidence was recorded at 1 in 8000.

If you’d like to know what conclusion I’ve come to for the reason for the marked increase you can get a copy of my free book here – http://organicandnaturalhealth.com

Stay well.
