#StephensStory: Stephen Sutton's Cancer Fundraising Reaches £3 Million

Dying Teen Raises £3 Million For Cancer Charity

Stephen Sutton, 19, has been chronicling his battle with colorectal cancer while raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The donation will be the largest single sum the charity has ever received.

His story has been publicised by a number of celebrities such as Jason Manford and Piers Morgan.

On Sunday Stephen posted the remarkable news that he had "coughed up a tumour" and was breathing easier as a result.

Sutton had originally only been aiming to raise £10,000 but he has now smashed that target.

Raising the money was number one on his bucket list of 46 wishes including hugging an elephant:

Along the way he has met bands, celebrities and all manner of famous folk:

He even got to read the news... sort of.

Truly inspirational stuff.
