I'd heard of Maggie's but didn't know much about it or the founders until I read an article on the BBC what an inspirational couple!

I'm off to nominate them for the payback charity.

This is incredibly sad, and it's wonderful that people are nominating the charity he co-founded for the community cause this time round.

It's good to see the positive wishes on here, and that people are nominating the cause he gave a large part of his life to, for the payback charity award.
