Soul rebel with a cause

’Tis the season to be jolly, supposedly, but Conor Cusack knows it’s not like that for everyone.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, there was barely an evening where if he wasn’t talking to some group, he was getting back to people by phone or mail. Since he wrote that blog the October bank holiday weekend, his life has changed, because it has helped to change and save the lives of others.

It’s meant about four or five hours sleep most nights but for him it’s not an inconvenience but rather a privilege and a responsibility. It would have been irresponsible to just write that blog and leave it at that; after he told his story people wanted to tell theirs, very often to him.
