this was sent 2 me from my sister in-law.
i think its a good story but if its old go a head and flame me 
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family,
he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his
waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad
from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman
stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the
farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything
like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son
attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and
went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.
What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth

wierd anyone watch australian story two weeks ago, anywau short description girl was struck down by Hodgkinson's linfoma (spelling) anyway really bad case, had it operated on and had radiation and kemo then went on a holiday to NZ and was feeling great then it came back. Anyway this time it was much worse and needed a radical treatment.
So the doctors when on a seven day does of extremely high concetrated kemo. Then she get t-cells injected. Guess who developed or discovered stem cells back in the 1970's on a struggling research project thats right her dad did.
The early research and discovery he made led to 30 years later his daughters life being saved she has been free of cancer for almost a yera now and even the scar tissue left in her lungs is almost disappeared.
