We are all becoming insular. It doesn't take much to help others ...

Hats off to this youngster.... :O)

A paperboy who cared for a terminally ill customer on his delivery round has been recognised with a national award.

Sam Green-Jeffries, 15, carried out chores and delivered shopping to bedridden David Bishop, who had the lung disease emphysema.

He said that he learned of Mr Bishop's lung disease after he was asked to leave a paper and some bread inside his house.

He said: 'The door to the house was open and when I entered I noticed an oxygen tank next to his bed and asked what it was for. He explained he had emphysema.'

Sam carried out chores and delivered shopping to bedridden David Bishop, who had the lung disease emphysema.

Sam jointly won the award with Roy Duffin, 15, from County Durham, who raised £1,000 for charity by cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End.

After all the grim news I've been subjected to since morning this made a heartwarming change. Good for the boy and nice to know that goodness is still appreciated!
