I’m ever more convinced that we may not find a cure for cancer, but it continues to take lives. We are a mere month into 2016 and so far it seems that almost every day, another celebrity is taken from us because of the disease.
Terry Wogan, a veteran broadcaster and known for his close links with the charity Children In Need, passed today from the disease.
Everyone who has spoken about him today has stated how lovely he was and his warmth and effortless presenting nature, really made you care about all he did.
The thing is though, cancer affects everyone.
A quick search of the wikipedia page Deaths in 2016, reveals that 63 people on that list so far suffered from some form of cancer.
Celebrities aren’t the only ones who have been taken from this world by it. Around 450 people lose their battle to it each day (using 2012 statistics). Those families are in my thoughts as well as Terry’s this evening.
