The Letter Read:

“To the guy with the ‘run for Blood Cancer t-shirt’,

Every morning I drive past you and your lovely little dogs at 6.15am on my way to work and I just wanted to let you know that I think you are awesome.

I wish I had your determination and I hope that you don’t mind me saying – the pounds are just melting off you.

I’ve got a new job now so won’t see you, but you are looking great – keep running. Signed, Lucy”

The inspiring letter touched Bellshaw that he decided to try to find Lucy and thank her in person. He then posted the letter and his story on Facebook, and within a few hours the post was shared almost 1,000 times.

That same night, Lucy came forward! Bellshaw learned that Lucy was also trying to lose weight after the birth of her baby and found herself motivated and inspired by Bellshaw’s determination.

Bellshaw continued healthy dieting and running four and seven days a week,  even competed in races, and is now down to an incredible 170 pounds!!

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Do Cocaine

Eyes wide open, feeling ever so amazing, brilliant, light and Superman-ish is what some try to reach (and maintain) when they start snoring line after line of this super white powder.

However, what we see from the outside isn’t always as pretty when it comes to the inside.

This highly addictive drug just doesn’t seem to be as cool when you start looking at some of its major side effects. Check out this grim image and judge for yourself!

This not so pretty picture went viral when Dentist Howard Farran posted it on his Facebook page as a warning against using blow, describing it as ‘palatal perforation due to cocaine abuse’.

Image Source

The website drugaddictiontreatment.com described the damage that the drug causes on the tissue:

“Cocaine snorting damages nasal health in several different ways.

Under the influence of cocaine, the sympathetic nervous system significantly narrows blood vessels throughout the body, including the vessels that send blood to the tissues in the nasal cavity.

Consequences of this narrowing include an increase in blood pressure and a drop in the amount of blood that can easily flow through the vessels at any given time.

Without their required blood supply, the tissues in the nasal cavity start to undergo destructive changes in their normal level of function and overall health.”

Now, remember this picture if someone ever offers you some Coc, because ladies and gents, crack IS wack! ugh!

Check out this disturbing video:

Guy Coveres New Car In Rust Camouflage To Protect It From Thieves

In 2013, 299,594 cars were stolen.

For that reason, this guy decided to cover his brand new van in a rust-like vinyl to make it look like a big rust bucket.

The artwork for the vinyl had to be measured carefully to ensure that the realness of the rust would be believable. It looks so real you will think that it really is a piece of crap.

“It only took 3 days for the police to pull him over to ask what was going on with all the rust,” Clyde’s Wraps write on their website.

“Please note that there is nothing illegal about going to town with graphics on your vehicle but it may confuse others!” Good idea right?

Daughters get $20 million inheritance – but only if they do everything on their dad’s list

Each of these girls will receive 10 million dollars but only if they obey their father’s wishes.

Their father, Maurice Laboz, signed the will in April of last year and died nine months afterwards. He left behind a 37 million dollar fortune, 20 million for his daughters and the remainder to charities such as The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and Meals on Wheels.

As far as the list goes, his daughter must complete certain duties to receive their money in lump sums. For instance, Marlena, 21, will receive 500,000 dollars when she gets married, but her husband must sign a contract vowing he will never touch any of it. Both Marlena and Victoria, 17, will get another 750,000 dollars when they graduate college. Once they start their careers they will get an annual sum of 3x their yearly income. They will get more money for being a ‘caregiver’ to their mother, Ewa Laboz, 58, who was in the middle of divorcing their father.

The estate attorney, Jeffrey Barr said:

‘It’s a way to control things from the grave. You don’t see a lot of it, but it happens. People do it because they think it’s for the good of the children.’’

Teen Gets In A Car Accident And Still Snapchats

Portugal teen, Amanda Machado, was riding passenger in her friend’s car and Snapchatting when they got into a pretty serious accident.

The Snapchats weren’t the cause of the accident, however, Machado continued to Snap while she was trapped in the overturned car.

Here are a few before and after pictures.

She got quite a bit of heat from her peers and the media. She confronted these comments and judgments by saying-

“I want to thank those who are helping me right now. In many thanks to duty jokers. I see all publications on websites, on Twitter, here in msm Face (sic), the whats and everywhere but do not think it gets me down, are mistaken. Thank God I’m seeing as this is what I appreciate because I could be dead and then? I can only thank God for giving me another chance at life! To the ignorant who do not know the facts and criticize, let my silence.”

It doesn’t make complete sense because it was translated from Portuguese, but it is clear she does not feel as if she should have done anything differently after the accident and appreciates a second chance at life.

Amanda and her friend did not suffer any fatal injuries and are both recovering well. They are, however, still struggling with the feelings of being judged by their peers for the Snapchats. The important thing is that help arrived and they were not seriously injured, or worse.

A Rich Woman Left This Paris Apartment In 1942. What They Found Inside Will Blow Your Mind.

Madame de Florian was a Franch socialite and an actress who had to leave south of France during World War II. She did, however, leave her apartment on the Right Bank near the Opéra Garnier, just in case she would return. Unfortunately, she never made it back after the war. Since 1942, the apartment has been left completely untouched until an auctioneer got ahold of it only to find it filled with treasures.

This is the apartment how they found it covered in dust.

Everything was left untouched and it looked as if she was there the day before.

Even though it looks really weird to us now having taxidermy at that time was a sign of affluence.

This apartment was like a history lesson depicting what life was like in that era.

Here is a painting of the apartment’s owner; painted by Giovanni Boldini.
