After teenager Stephen Sutton (pictured) received his terminal cancer diagnosis, he calmly went to his bedroom and made a bucket list. Like many 18-year-olds he dreamed of going to Wembley to watch the football, learning to juggle, crowd surfing at a gig and flying first class in an aeroplane. But number one on his list was far more telling about tragic Stephen's incredible character - he wanted to raise £10,000 to give to Teenage Cancer Trust, the charity who had helped him through the last years of his life. At the time of his death in May of 2014, aged just 19, his story had stunned the nation and he had raised more than £3million to help children he would never meet - but who would be forever indebted to his memory. Ten years on, his legacy means his mother is still being stunned by his bravery.
