Bless him, very sad for him and his family. He did a lot of wonderful things in his final year though. Inspired many and raised almost £40 million.

I never understand these things, same when 'stars' die, all the lovely things are said when they are gone

this should have been done when he was alive surely :laugh:

If tom could have kept fundraising at his current pace, until he was 149, he could have paid for Dido's disastrous test and trace.

I say we take all the money he raised and hold a massive funeral where we can gather together and mark the end of covid

...Tom’s family say that they hid so much online abuse from him because it would have upset him so much...and obviously it didn’t contribute to his death at all and he wasn’t even aware of it etc...but online abuse is becoming so extreme and awful, this is a man who was having a final holiday with the family he loved...

[UserSince2005]

Its sad that he received online abuse and his family were conscious not to make him aware of it.

Unfortunately he was a prime target for them considering his bouts to achieve celebrity over his lifetime and the fact that his "challenge" wasn't particularly challenging.

But no one has a right to be nasty and vicious to and old man like that.
