Dave Robinson is a young CSO in the city centre. He's 28-years-old, is engaged to be married and his girl is expecting their first child.
He also has a number of 'aggressive' tumours.
I've written a couple of stories about Dave's situation over the past month or so and been struck - not for the first time - by the way people in the police 'family' stick together.
It's also clear he is surrounded by a loving bunch of family and friends.
There's loads of fundraising going on right now because there is a treatment available in the US which could help him.
I also hear well-wishers' letters and cheques are arriving at Mansfield House police station in the city centre at a steady rate.
He's just so young.
Writing stories about seriously nasty crimes can be hard sometimes, but I get by.
I'd forgotten how tough it is writing about someone who is very poorly.
This picture above shows Dave meeting Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson the other week. The club were great hosts, particularly the man they call 'Birch'.

There is also a huge group on Facebook. Visit that too.
Sorry I should have posted this information a few weeks back, but keeping this blog as up to date as it should be has been a bit of a struggle just recently.
