What do you do when your Hero is gone....

The hero is known for achievements; the celebrity for well-knowns. The hero reveals the possibilities of human nature. The celebrity reveals the possibilities of the press and media. Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history. Time makes heroes but dissolves celebrities.--Daniel J. Boorstin

Richard Burns was a hero to me, and to many others, and now he is gone - and I'm not taking it very well I' m afraid.... I'll babble on a bit here, and maybe that will help.

Richard Burns, my hero, one of my inspirations, my idol....
England's only World Rally Champion. A genuine guy, A great soul. A good heart.

What a fighter. Not just in the race car and on the rally stages. But in life.
He fought to get where he was.
He fought to attain his dreams, and he made them a reality.


But then, along comes the biggest fight of his life. An astrocytoma, a form of brain tumor, the battle of all battles. He fought. Like the champion that he was, like the hero that he is and always will be. He fought, with everything he had.  Ultimately, Richard lost this battle with disease, but he retained his determination, his fighting instincts and he never gave up.

A champion never gives up.

A true champion is someone who wants to make a difference, who never gives up, and who gives everything she has no matter what the circumstances are. A true champion works hard and never loses sight of her dreams.--Dot Richardson

Thank you Richard for being an inspiration, a hero.
Thank you for sharing yourself with us all.
Thank you for putting up a brave battle

For a while there, I HAD given up.Started to let my dreams go.
I know now that I cannot let that happen.
I'll keep fighting. And you will continue to inspire me. Always.

May God Bless you & Keep you.
