In the week that followed the death of these four miners at Gleision Colliery, South Wales. The effect it has had on the South Wales valley's is immense.
Within 24 hours an Appeal fund was started, the first day saw 10K raised the second day saw 20K raised and Prince Charles becoming Patron. Day 3 they hit 50K
and now theres a fundraising evening being held on the 7th Of October sets to be a massive night.
However, the thing that holds my awe the most, is how the social network of Facebook brought together people all over the uk holding nightly candle lit tributes, called 'A Candle burns Bright'
I will post the link although I am not sure how long it will be there for
