" I couldn't think not to do it, it's just in my nature doing things like that. "
He Said that five years ago, in the same year, he lost a sister, a brother and A Son .
" I just thought The World 's a poxy place. If I keep getting all the bad things why can't I Do Something good for Someone Else ? " he asked.
Ms Morgan, 32, said it was " mental to think someone paid that amount of money that we've never met before".
