    What an amazing story.

    Hoped to raise £1,000 for the NHS by doing 10 lengths of his garden (250 metres) per day for 10 days to mark his 100th birthday at the end of the month.

    As of right now he has raised over £9.5 million.

    This guy has spent a good chunk of his life without an NHS. He knows what life was like without it.
