Walking for the NHS

One of the saving graces of lockdown

has been being able to 

walk with Pearl

Like all of us 
I am so grateful that the efforts of our key workers
have enabled me to continue to walk Pearl.

The support for the NHS is huge

as demonstrated by the weekly clap

and is evident everywhere.

I am very saddened to hear that
the government has seen fit to give them a paltry 1%

(MPs got 3.1%)

I rarely go in for sponsorship. 
(The only one I can remember was over 12 years ago.

I walked the Great Wall of China for the Meningitis Trust.

I raised a wonderful £5000) 

I am contemplating doing a similar challenge

Pearl and I are willing to do 

A 1000 mile Countryside Walk

If every adult in the country sponsored me

just 10p a mile
I would raise a huge amount of money 

Then each NHS staff could have a bonus

For those interested in figures and details

I calculate

At 10p a mile from every adult
that would be £100 per person.

With approx 50million people
(50 million x 100)

£5,000, 000,000

I am very aware that many people

who have lost their jobs because of Covid

will not be able to do this.

So

• Why don't the "wealthy" people contribute more
  (say £1000)
• Those companies who have done well
  (supermarkets/Amazon etc)
  should also make a significant contribution
  (eg £100 per store)
• MP's could contribute more
  

If this were to happen 

each NHS staff member 

1.6 million of them

could receive a bonus of 

£3000.

This would be standard for everyone in the NHS.
Every person's job was vital,
irrespective of their salary.

I would love to know what you think.
