Stephen Sutton was an inspirational teenager who was sadly diagnosed with cancer in 2010 at the age of 15. His inspirational journey to complete his bucket list lead him to world wide fame, where he raised millions of pounds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. After his sad passing in May 2014, his mother Jane, who had always been by his side, continued fundraising, and this is who we want to honour this month.
