    didn't they take the family on holiday after the little boy's death?

    either way it's a heart warming gesture. no doubt this will be close to his heart after having similar problems himself a few years back.

    as if he wasn't enough of a legend already. great story.

    I'm not sure mate I just skimmed the article and saw it said "he died a few weeks later" so presumed he went too! You may be right though, either way, a fantastic thing to do!

    Ah I just looked again and only read from under the picture, and even then I misread it but we're going away from the point of the thread.

    Well done Kris.
