alandrea0 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Congratulations to Captain Tom for raising over 8 Million for the NHS.... I hope the NHS will not waste it, ideally it should go towards supporting family members of those NHS staff who lost their lives helping to save peoples lives and also go towards doing research in this terrible virus. I also hope that JUST GIVING will waive their fee, as it surmounts to quite a lot..... Or will they be greedy and keep it? WELL DONE TOM.......

Baron99 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yes. We'll done to him. He deserves all the plaudits that have come his way. This morning he had 'only' made £4 million & it was pointed out that this would fund 120 nurses for a year or buy 10,000 hospital beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthor Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 There definitely needs to be pressure put on Just Giving to waive their fees. He's done brilliantly. I hope that he doesn't feel pressured to over-exert himself and do himself some damage! He seems a sensible guy though. He must be absolutely stunned with how this is panning out. What a legend. And we'll done to everyone that's donated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not close to a million. JustGiving take 1.9% + 20p of a donation. Currently 631573 people have donated £12,337,427.11, so that's £126,314 worth of 20 pences, and the 1.9% is £236,811, so £363,152 in total.

hauxwell Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The last l heard Captain Tom has raised over £12 million and Pierce Morgan said today, no single person has raised that amount of money for charity before. So well done Captain Tom and I think you are going to raise a lot more money. I agree with rudds1. I would like to see him nominated for a medal and presented to him by the Queen because he seems to have a lot of respect for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
