Fighting for Time

What would you do if you were told that you only had a short time left to live? Few of us, faced with a future like Jean Cameron 's, would be able to summon up the same courage and determination. She is one of the many people Harold Williamson talked to about this sudden and devastating bombshell - and how they coped. JEAN CAMERON is trying to write a book about finding herself just as terminally ill as those she's spent her own life trying to help; at the same time Tim Martys is trying to fight back death by striving for a new life out in the country; and Ken Thomas is trying to raise £2 million to buy a body scanner and save lives - even though he knows it is too late to save his own. Ambitions, it seems, don't have to be dramatic. The quiet resolve of some people can be just as strong as the lone oarsman rowing the Atlantic.
