"A credit to humanity." Just one of the many tributes made to the teenage cancer fundraiser, Stephen Sutton, who died peacefully in his sleep yesterday. Celebrities and politicians have been lining up to praise the nineteen year old blogger who had incurable bowel cancer from when he was 15. Instead of dwelling on his misfortune, Stephen drew up a 'bucket list' of things he wanted to achieve. Donations to his online fundraising page, set up in aid of the Teenage Cancer fund currently exceed more than three million pounds. Mike Lockley of the Birmingham Mail & Sunday Mercury knew Stephen - he first reported on this story more than a year ago
