Tayside Health Fund Covid-19
Fundraising for NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation
Story
The NHS is still in need of funding for new hospitals, Doctors, Nurses, and equipment.
I will be walking around a small field for 4 hours a day, 12 noon to 4pm. Each lap is 312 paces. My walk will start on Friday 8th of May and finish on Saturday 30th May. This fundraising page will stay open until Satuarday 6th June.
There is ample social distancing between the school and the Serviette housing association which mainly has elderly residents. The 2nd oldest lady in Scotland lives here.
Captain Tom has inspired me to do this event and I am amazed at the wonderful work he has completed to help the NHS. At his time of life, it is no easy feat, to exercise as he has done. His heart is with the people of this country and the NHS has benefitted greatly. He has a wonderful heart.
Of course, lots more protective clothing is required. The NHS nurses are working all around my area mainly for the serviette housing complex. They all need to be kept safe and their welfare needs to be attended to.
I have been through back surgery and its pending for more work to be done by a neurosurgeon. The last year has seen me going through 3 heart surgeries, a stroke, internal bleeding, and 9 stents. The NHS has done a sterling job caring for me, the Doctors, and especially the nurses are all overworked it never stops for them. I am proud of the work they are doing, especially in these hard times putting their lives at risk.
Ian an Ex-Royal Air Force, charity cyclist, mainly operating in Scotland in the late 80s to 1994. Ian has raised well over £60,000 in the past for elderly disabled, Faith and Light, Cancer Research, and sending a couple to Lourdes. Ian has also completed 13 half marathons, 3 marathons, and has cycled up and down the country, around England and Wales and around Scotland 5 times with 50 pounds on my back and tenting out each night.
I got married a couple of years after leaving the Force, I have held a 24/7 job for 19 years. I loved my charity work when I was more active a few years ago.
Let’s all come together and help the NHS when they need it the most.
