BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Call, 25/04/2014

John Beattie asks whether charities need to work harder to raise money.

19 year old Stephen Sutton, from Staffordshire, was diagnosed with bowel cancer at 15 and decided he wanted to raise a million pounds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. He wrote a final message to his followers on Facebook on Tuesday - "That's it from me. But life has been good" - it prompted people to start pledging thousands of pounds and donations reached £1million on Wednesday morning. Stephen's raised more than 10 per cent of the charity's annual income - in just one campaign.
