A charitable trust has been set up in memory of a Nottinghamshire student who died with Covid just days after his 21st birthday. Cameron Day, from Mansfield, contracted the virus shortly after finishing his graphic design course at University of Lincoln in June 2021.
He was subsequently in intensive care for weeks, spending his 21st birthday away from family on July 15, and was put into a medically induced coma on July 24. Cameron, who had no underlying health issues, died in Lincoln County Hospital on August 5.
His parents, Neil Day and Alison Shaw, described their son as "kind, supportive, intelligent and a friend to all". They said: "Cam had the kindest and most generous heart and was always eager to help and support others."
