This Saturday will be the first anniversary of the death of my wife Lynn Faulds Wood.
Her passing prompted an amazing response — glowing obituaries, 70,000 tweets of condolence, and more than 400 letters and cards.
But what many of those kind people still don’t know is that, ironically, she died of a disease she was trying to warn other people about.
Not the bowel cancer, which she was diagnosed with when our son Nick was just three years old and afterwards spent years campaigning about on TV.
No, Lynn suffered a stroke caused by a disease of which few people have heard. A disease with the hard-to-remember name of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
