300 voices, 300 hearts,
A singing sensation
On Thursday 4
th December 2008, a phenomenal singing explosion
occurred. 300 sound waves bellowed through Cardiff bay when 300 children from all the schools of
Rhondda Cynon Taff sang their hearts out to raise money in remembrance of Joshua Cornelius. Joshua Cornelius was an average 7 year old boy but had a heart-breaking disease. He had a rare cancer resting in his stomach. After a great deal of
chemotherapy, he could not hold on any longer and his poor heart collapsed. Joshua Cornelius died 10 years ago, on December 4
th. We hope that every 10 years, schools will mark his life with another sensational concert in his memory.
