Spent all day yesterday trying to get on the just giving page. It was continually down. Eventually got on late last night, the total could be even bigger once everyone gets on.

It's going up at over 10k a minute at the moment.

 

[Steevo]

£8.2 million now!!!

This time yesterday when I posted this I nearly put "I bet he'll make it to £5mil" but didn't.

Now, 24 hours later I think I'll go with this instead:


I bet he'll make it to £10mil!



Now that is truly stunning.

Was nearly 5.4million at 10.30 this morning.. Fantastic.

£9.7mil!

What a legacy for this chap to be able to leave.....and what a birthday present for him come the end of the month too!!

I hope the chap actually gets to meet the Queen, not just have a letter/card from her.

Heck, why not go the whole hog - mint a whole new coin and put his face on the front of it. Call it a new £5 coin and make the total value of all of them produced equal to the sum he has raised for the NHS.

Absolutely unbelievable, what a man! His family thought they would struggle to hit £1000, lets hope it all gets put to good use asap.

£12mil so far. I think £20mil by the end of the day is perfectly achievable!

It's incredible and what an amazing chap!

Absolute fantastic achievement by this man. 10,000000 for the NHS. Give him every award possible, he thoroughly deserves it.
