Cody O'Grady

Today was the funeral of a 17 year old lad from our community in East Manchester. Lizzie has known him for years, from when he started going to youth club at the Church.

Twelve months ago he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, since then, it’s been roller coaster of a journey for him & his family. Our entire church mobilised in prayer and treatment began to work, much to the Doctors disbelief. He was told that it had gone into remission.

Some months later, the cancer was back and had spread around his brain. We really feel that God has used the extra time he gave Cody so that he might grasp in a very simple way, the Christian message. That with all the suffering, there was a God who loved him. As well as this amazing testimony, he won an Urban Hero Award for courage. Below is the link to the video telling his story.

It's a sad day for our community. A day that reminds me of how fragile life is. I feel challenged on how important is it to not waste life and I just wanted to share this little boy's troubled and difficult one with you. Not to shock, but to remind you of what matters.
