Extremely sad news and it's very upsetting news.

Great man who has fought not only the disease but also to do a lot for charity, serving as an inspiration to everyone. I am not sure there is a word that can truly epitomise the impact he has had and how many people he has touched with his personality and determination.

RIP and my condolences to his family and friends.
