I saw US$25m. What's that, about 20m pounds? Good job Tom and all the people that donated

Nice to see good news for a change, eh?

I believe it puts a smile on everyones face!

I think they should promote him to MAJOR

Yes, Major Tom. Of course.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear
"Here am I floating 'round a tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"

Oh my goodness ..... £25,423,755.06!

People are being incredibly generous at these times. A 49 year old ex colleague of mine sadly died of Covid while self isolating at home this week, her mother who lived with her had died 4 days before. A parent at her 7 year old son’s school has set up a fund for him which has already raised £23,187.

The numbers are overwhelming but it is the individual stories that make it real. Thank you for being strong enough to share that. Heart-breaking.

Just Giving have agreed to include their 10% ‘admin’ fee in this case 😮 Someone had a brilliant idea coming up with this kind of thing. Not sure who came first, Just Giving or Crowdfunding?

Perhaps have the politicians who vote for not giving the nurses pay raises to go work in the hospital for a 12 hour shift, see how they feel about it afterwards.

Right on! Rusty

With the threat of negative interest rates they had better spend it soon!
