Adrian Sudbury was a reporter for both the Huddersfield Express and Chronicle Series and the Huddersfield Examiner. In November 2006 the 25-year-old was promoted to digital journalist, effectively editing the new-look Examiner website.
Just two days into his new role he became seriously ill and called in sick. A week later he drove himself to A&E and was eventually diagnosed with leukaemia.
It was then identified that he actually had two distinct types of the disease running at the same time. According to the medical literature he was the only person in the world to have this condition. As such, it was not possible to offer Adrian a prognosis.
Here he shared his experiences of the disease and his treatment up until his passing.Click below to hear the next part of this interview between Adrian Sudbury and Toby Foster on BBC Radio Sheffield

I'm having the same problem with this post even though my java is up to date and my flash player???
I think there is need for a little tweeking in the html code here, because not all the parts are opening, nr. 2, 3 and 6 give problems.

Hi Adrian, I switched onto Radio 5 live a few weeks ago and heard your story and then you came on and talked about your campaign. I am in awe of you and your strength, a true fighter! My family all signed the petition and I really hope that you make the difference and in the future more people will come forward and be donors. I really enjoy your blog.
You are a gifted and humorous writer.
God bless you Adrian and your friends and family.
Love and best wishes
Angela
Hello Adrian
I enjoyed listening to the broadcast. I believe that if we are to make any sense of this cruel and tragic illness we have to view the bone marrow campaign as your purpose, your raison d'etre, your legacy. As a forty-something who is wondering what her footprint will be, if I could achieve half of what you have achieved, I could die proud. Maybe it is true that we really only learn how to live when we are dying.
It is difficult to accept that you have only days or weeks left when you sound so full of purpose and vitality. I wish you a passing that is as easy and peaceful as possible. Godspeed.
Nicola
