Earlier in the month, we reported a story about Jonny Benjamin who was appealing to find the man who approached him on Waterloo Bridge in London when he was in a distressed state and about to end his life.

The kindness the man showed by offering to buy Benjamin a cup of coffee, meant that he climbed back over the railings and went on to live a better life. But he never got the stranger’s name and wanted to thank him.
