On Sunday 14th April 2013 Tristan lost his year long battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He faced the challenge in his usual positive way and proved an inspiration to those who met him during his illness. Tristan wanted to help others in the same situation and would be pleased to know that something good had come out of his death. The Julian Starmer-Smith Lymphoma Fund plays a crucial role in furthering research into Lymphoma.
