This was a while back but was on tonight's news. A young man who had  Duchenne muscular dystrophy
 spent much of his life online where he became a character called Lord Ibelin Redmoore, or sometimes, Jerome Walker. When some of the people who knew him through his gaming attended his funeral, his parents were stunned, but eventually, comforted.

Anyone using this? Any thoughts?

Didnt even realise it was happening with such little media coverage, just thought it was a regatta, but hey we won so thats all that matters i guess!
