A legend, a shero. The world is a lot better thanks to the extraordinary life and work of you, Dr Catherine Hamlin. And a lot poorer now that you have left us. But your memory and work will live on and continue to make remarkable change – for individuals and for the world. Thanks for being an inspiration, thanks for being a role-model, thanks for being you.
