Daniel De Gale, whose fight against leukaemia inspired hundreds of Afro-Caribbean people to donate bone marrow, has died.
The 21-year-old was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1993 aged six, and a lack of black donors meant the odds of finding a match were 250,000-to-one.
He died from an illness unrelated to cancer.
