Wow

Such an amazing, honest conversation. I lost my mum 12 years ago to cancer and Richard articulates my feelings about during illness and beyond, in such an amazing way that’s id never be able to do justice.

What an incredible man, and Davina you lead the conversation so perfectly and with such ease. The flow is perfect
