Generosity knew no bounds for one young basketball fan who quietly disappeared while his family were watching telle. It was easter and the good friday appeal was running.

The first the family knew of his disappearance was when sports star Luke Longley announced over the air, his thanks to a young caller who had just donated $100.

A quick search of the house found one young Lucas Butzin tucked in the corner of the bedroom with the phone to his ear and a grin from cheek to cheek.

(a kindly uncle paid the $100).
