THE NHS still inspires loyalty and generosity in the public.

So often do we read of people who want to raise money after a loved one has died.

So it is with Christian Klopsteg, who is raising £4,000 to buy a new ventilator for York Hospital in memory of his wife, Anita, who died in October at the tragically early age of 29.

Anita suffered from a chronic lung complaint and her husband wants to raise money in her memory. How impressive it is that a man grieving for the loss of his young wife should wish to do something so positive for the general good.
