I READ with interest, the article "Cancer patient's car tyres slashed" in the Malvern Gazette on July 13.

As the man had good intentions by acting as a human guinea pig when undergoing gene therapy treatment to try and help other sufferers, I am hardly surprised as God repays people this way.

If one tries to do others good, in any shape or form, then no good comes to their doorstep. In fact God's more, if not wholly, on the side of the sort that does these atrocious acts (if atrocious is a strong enough word to describe it). The vandals in question get where they want to, we often can't.
