Harry Moseley aged 11, was a typical boy until he was 7 years old. Harry was having problems with his eye sight so his family took him to the doctors. After numerous tests and scans they finally had a diagnosis Harry had an inoperable brain tumour, for anybody to receive this news they wouldn't want to carry on but not Harry. As Harry began chemotherapy he met a man called Robert with the same condition as him and decided to make a difference. Harry started hand making bracelets to raise awareness of Cancer Research. Not only did Harry devote his time into helping others he also set up a website www.helpharryhelpothers.com where people can buy the bracelets he made for his friend Rob. Sadly, four weeks into Harry's campaign Rob died. Although, this was a sad time for Harry he never let anything put him down. He still carried on inspiring and encouraging thousands of people around the world. On his own Harry managed to raise a staggering £85'000 selling his bracelets to many famous faces and with the help of people buying them from his website. In 2009, Harry was voted kindest kid for always looking at the brighter side of life and for his contributions into raising awareness. Saturday 8th October 2011 was a tragic night this is when Harry lost his battle to cancer. When I heard the news it made me realise what an exhilarate boy Harry was and how at such a young age Harry managed to touched nations. Personally, I didn't know Harry but just by following him on Twitter I was able to be following his story and see the wonders he was able to do. Many people loved Harry and still do for this reason I am sure that his legacy will live on.
R.I.P Harry Moseley Your Legacy Will Live On.
