Nick Cooper Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello, an old fellow who has been introduced to us as Captain Tom has lit a fire that has warmed the hearts of everyone who has heard about it. He set out to raise £1000 for the staff of our National Health Service. Just now he has raised £16,056,860 and it's not finished yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52303859 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W2DR Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 WOW! I just wish I knew how to do this for the W.H.O. Since the decision to stop funding by our "President" they need all the help they can get. Maybe someone smarter than me can set something up. It's really badly needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
