The saddest news

Yesterday I found out the tragic news that my cousin, Patrick, had passed away aged 41. Patrick had a very aggressive form of MS, such a horrible disease.

When I first found out his diagnosis several years ago, I remember the shock. Unfortunately I never saw him in person after that moment although I was shown a photo which still haunts me. There literally wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think of Patrick, praying for a cure, for peace, for comfort. That day I also started supporting the MS Society and Stem Cell Research.

His family is amazing and as devastated as I am - and I am completely heartbroken - my heart hurts for them the most.

He was a fantastic person and he is sorely missed.
