Re: Rachel Bland

I hadn't heard of her before, but she does seem to have been an incredibly brave woman.

I listen to Radio 5 live a lot in the Evenings around tea time so did used to hear Rachel Bland of the Drive program, it is all very sad, especially with her having a two year old kid, last nights program was a nice tribute to her anyway.

I heard that too Summer, and although it may cause a few tears every birthday, it will be a great reminder of how much his mum loved him.

Re: Rachel Bland

I was so moved by that wonderful, so young, beautiful wife and mother for her bravery in just even being able to accept her fate as she did, and to do what she did. She is an absolute inspiration to other sufferers. God Bless Her. RIP.
