This is Jonny Kennedy (or was). A corpse. This is how we first see him. While immensely sad, his family are relieved.

Why? Because Jonny had a horrible congenital disease that made his skin blister or slough off with minimal friction. 36 years of agony. No cure.

While it might sound trite or mawkish, Jonny really did have an amazing spirit & came to terms with his plight with stoicism & humour. He was a funny bugger.

In his final months he contacted a film crew to raise money for research. The resulting documentary is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wg8EtF5SJI
(in 2005 was voted 6th best documentary by British viewers)

Jonny would want you to be inspired. Make the most of what you have.
A word of warning for those who are to watch, while ultimately uplifting, prepare to be f-ing wrecked.
