    100 year old makes £10m+ for NHS

    Soon to be 100 Tom will be over £10m for his garden charity walk by the end of Wednesday night.

    We’ve put our family contribution in as have nearly 500,000 other people.

    Tom i salute you sir.......what an effort by yourself and the great British public.

    Surely a knighthood for his 100th birthday.

    If he hasn't got any money he won't be knighted, only rich people are knighted. He might get a CBE.
    Fair play to him, puts a lot of young people to shame.

    I think this guy and what he’s achieved is incredible. I’ve heard that there’s a separate campaign to get Red Arrows to fly past his house for his 100th birthday. That would be such a great touch to this story.

    I’ll be making a contribution later to just giving.

    24 hours later and it’s nearly £16.3m.

    If he keeps it going he could find the NHS on his own 😎😆

    This guy is incredible and a true legend and saw him and his family on TV yesterday that they had hoped for £1,000.

    Hope he gets to £20m soon.

    How sad to find out that “Just Giving” take a proportion of every donation.

    I was really peed off when I found that out.

    They should forsake every penny on this one!

    I think they will Mick, it'd take some gall not to!
