Sincere Condolences

May I offer my sincere condolences on the death of your son. my daughter died of a flight-related DVT in 2000 - her death brought much publicity around the world - although her death was flight-related the underlying cause was sitting still - until a tragedy happens people are unaware of the consequences of sitting still - I applaud you for going public with your grief and I trust your campaign will help you to cope with your loss. May I please make a suggestion...speaking to classes in school would be a good way of letting people know of the dangers (if you can have access)- until recently I worked in a secondary school and I spoke to many classes about sitting still and pupils sitting on their feet.I appreciate how difficult this is for you but I trust you can gain comfort knowing what you are doing can prevent this happening to another family.
