Story

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Justin Morton (Mort&rsquo;s).</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">11th April 1972 - 16th October 2007</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Justin James Morton was the most amazing and caring person anyone could&nbsp;have met! Some even called him a "gentleman" and there are very few of those&nbsp;left in&nbsp;the world today! Justin would&nbsp;have won Gold for his ability to brighten&nbsp;everybody&rsquo;s life that crossed his path!! Justin's aim in life was simple;&nbsp;live life to the full and every day for the moment. He was never one to make long term&nbsp;plans or commitments, just action what he wanted to achieve each day as it came. Even if&nbsp;he woke and his day involved&nbsp;hours of constant&nbsp;play on the X box, talking and competing with people all over the World he'd&nbsp;fulfil this. Justin believed in&nbsp;doing&nbsp;whatever made you feel happy and content.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Justin&rsquo;s bravery was amazing, he never moaned about his&nbsp;condition once&nbsp;or how ill he felt. He was always more concerned about those around him and whenever asked the question, the answer would always be &ldquo;yeah, I&rsquo;m good". He never wanted the people closest to him to worry or be upset, especially myself and&nbsp;his&nbsp;mother&nbsp;Pam, who he adored. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Having been Justin's girlfriend for 2 years, I have never met such an unselfish, realistic, courageous and&nbsp;happy person in all my life.&nbsp;For that I, and&nbsp;many others honour&nbsp;his attitude towards his battle for life against cancer. He has made me and many of our friends realise that life is very precious and you have to live every moment of your life&nbsp;as if it's your last,&nbsp;love everybody who takes the time to love you&nbsp;back.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Justin's 35 years were given and in that time he touched so many people&rsquo;s hearts and never had a bad word to say about anybody. Justin took&nbsp;everybody&nbsp;at face value, unless of course you asked him his true&nbsp;opinion and then he would truly&nbsp;speak his mind, saying&nbsp;if you don't want to know the truth&nbsp;don't ask!!&nbsp;He was an extremely respected character&nbsp;and everybody who&nbsp;met him loved him for his crazy hair and carefree attitude, not&nbsp;forgetting&nbsp;his overpowering and extremely loud laugh!! Not a day would pass&nbsp;when&nbsp;walking down the street somebody he knew would look up at his 6"4 frame and say hello!!! He really was famous in his own right and he deserved it through his&nbsp;fantastic outlook on life which&nbsp;affected and moved&nbsp;so many people. Justin will be so sadly and deeply&nbsp;missed by all the people&nbsp;that knew him.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">&ldquo;Justin you will never be forgotten and your memory will always live on. You were the&nbsp;greatest producer of happiness and you will&nbsp;never leave our memories&nbsp;or our hearts. We will always love you and your lively spirit will stay by our sides.&rdquo; </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Look after those Angels Mr Happy Man!!!! xxxx</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">With other donations we&nbsp;were able to give 3 Plasma DVD&rsquo;s to Worcester Hospital&rsquo;s Laurel 3 Unit, along with&nbsp;2 Infusion Pumps for the Day Care Unit, where Justin spent much of his time having treatment, playing the nurses up and making them laugh! These were donated&nbsp;at the end of June 2008. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Also we&nbsp;were able to give over &pound;3,500 to St Richard&rsquo;s Hospice. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Not stopping there we have raised &pound;1,000 for St Gabriel's Church, &pound;180 of this was&nbsp;donated&nbsp;by Justin's parents to&nbsp;renovate 1 of 6&nbsp;bells in the belfry. A plaque&nbsp;has been&nbsp;placed inside the Church in memory of Justin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you all so&nbsp;much for the support you have given x&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">I lost the love of my life and my&nbsp;bestfriend, Pam and David lost their son, Richard and Alison their brother, Carol, Peter and Julie their nephew, Robin, Simon, Ian and Andrew&nbsp;their cousin and hundreds lost an amazing friend. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">We all know that 1 in 3 people suffer from cancer and so many hearts are broken each year. Continue to make a difference so their lives&nbsp;can be as&nbsp;happy and comfortable as possible. &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Through everyones thoughtfulness and generosity your giving&nbsp;is enabling us to do so much more for people in the same situation as Justin's. Thank you again.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Please carry on donating any spare pennies you have in your pot to give others the same fantastic care&nbsp;which Justin received at St Richards Hospice.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">St Richard&rsquo;s Hospice only receive 26% funding from the NHS each year so 74% they rely on comes&nbsp;from donations. Lets help in as many ways we can.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">If you have any fund raising ideas or events which you would like to hold in memory of Justin, please contact me on: <a href="mailto:elayne028@yahoo.co.uk">elayne028@yahoo.co.uk</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.
