Chris O'Brien passed away

He's was an inspiration to so many of us. He fought his battle well, but what can you do when faced with such an insidious adversary.
RIP

I have never watched RPA and I only know about him from what I have heard on the radio today,even so it seems a great loss to Australia of a great doctor.
May he rest in peace.

After doing so much for others, a sad ending at age 57. My sincere condolences to his family.

I'm sure many of us either have a love one suffering from cancer or have lost someone to cancer. Perhaps, it is an appropriate time to make a small donation to cancer research in Australia.

Regards, Rob
