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.

...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...

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.

Yes Good to do.
