How a tragic murder has inspired hope and change for good.

Jimmy Summary

Jimmy: A legacy of peace by Justin Butcher

On the morning after his sixteenth birthday, Jimmy Mizen went out to buy his first lottery ticket. A few minutes later, he was dead: fatally wounded in an unprovoked attack in the local bakery, he bled to death in his brother's arms. A popular lad, a gentle giant at 6'4, Jimmy was the thirteenth teenager to die in a fatal assault that year in London, and as calls for retribution began, his parents appealed for calm. Barry and Margaret Mizen chose to respond to Jimmy's death by being positive. Interviewed by the media, they rejected violence and revenge. Instead, they have dedicated their lives to helping young people find a better way. This is their story - and Jimmy's story, the story of an ordinary lad, who was much loved.

Jimmy Reviews

Learning about Margaret and her family has solidified my view that the world is made up of far more good people than bad. Despite the devastating loss of their son and the resulting ever-present void, Margaret and Barry have shown remarkable tolerance and understanding, and a determination to spread and promote something which will benefit all our communities and each and every one of us-peace. -- Kate McCann
