Just read in the news about a young British woman, Susan Taylor, just died attempting to swim The Channel to raise money for Rainbows Hospice and Diabetes UK. Tragic news, RIP !

Such a shame. I saw a picture of her and she looked so young and healthy. Tragic loss of life

Such a tragic ending to a inspirational fund raising effort to help us... if you can give anything, Susan's page is still open. My thoughts are with Susan's family and friends and I hope she sleeps well x

I hadn't realised she was raising money for diabetes! It's a shame they didn't make her charities more prominent in the news reports but that's a small matter. It is a horrible thing to happen, especially to someone who was trying to make a difference and improve the lives of other people. Very sad!

RIP
