There is hope for humanity...

Sometimes, just sometimes, in all the rubbish we hear and read about there comes a story to gladden the heart and moisten the eyes.

There is a little fella by the name of Fintan Morley-Smith who has a rare eye condition called retinoblastoma.

His dad, James, is running the London Marathon to raise funds for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust.

I heard about this through Twitter, in particular Stephen Fry. As a result of a message from Fintan's dad to Stephen, and Stephen's subsequent Tweet, many people have donated to help Fintan and other childfren like him.

If you're feeling really brassed off, that life stinks and maybe someone owes you a favour, just take a minute, read about Fintan here and consider donating using the link to the right on my Blog.

OK, life may be **** but Fintan and many like him will have been helped by your generosity. Hold your head up (feel proud, it really isn't a sin) and realise how lucky you really are.

Thanks for reading.
