The story behind Nil Desp.
When Peter Riley was diagnosed with cancer, he was reminded by his Auntie of the motto belonging to a family crest. That motto was Nil Desperandum, which translates to Never Despair.
He found strength in those words.
In fact they became more than words.
Generations of his family have been exposed to this crest, and as a result have been helped to adopt a Never Despair attitude. He likes to think that this powerful mindset is now part of his DNA.
Life is challenging in many ways. Peter wants to share his message and help others find the strength to Never Despair when times get tough.
