David was a brilliant colleague, a great friend, mentor, advisor and awesome "coffee and a chat" provider to so many of us at Microsoft.

David and Stephen, his son, both died in a tragic accident while on holiday in Canada. This site has been set up in David and Stephen's memory to raise funds for the Swindon Down's Syndrome Group, which played a key role in David and Stephen's lives.

We hope that the funds raised will give the group the funds they need to continue to provide such fabulous support to people with Down's Syndrome.

Microsoft will match all funds donated via this page - so your donations will go even further.
