“This story has a very happy ending as Lester did brilliantly, coping through each stage of his illness. In all time of his recovery he still managed to show great kindness and respect to his family .He is so brave, creative, intelligent and kind with a huge capacity for love, that it is no wonder he pulled through. He was discovered by Goldie who involved Lester performing at Buckingham palace in front of HRH Prince Harry. His family watched bursting with pride and now marvel at him going from strength to strength.
He deserves a long, happy and continued life!” – Sharon Allen
