Just a few days ago dying teenager, Stephen Sutton, posted a final thumbs up on Facebook.

The campaign has been boosted by the backing of a number of celebrities including comedian Jason Manford who announced on Sunday he would be holding a special fundraising gig.
Raising the money was number one on his bucket list of 46 wishes including hugging an elephant:
