... Coronavirus: Army veteran Tom Moore's £6m for NHS 'out of this world' - BBC News[^]
He aimed to raise £1,000 by walking around his garden 100 times before his 100th birthday (30th April) on his new replacement hip. Total donated now £6,421,487.15p 
Next it'll be Boris doing a sponsored haircut to raise money for hard hit businesses, or Trump doing a sponsored silence to fund a wall ...

That's Vorsprung durch Technik.
VW, being the con-men, fraudsters, and proud suppliers to the Third Reich that they are, stole it, but changed it just enough that they couldn't be sued for copyright infringement.
(Yes, I am making this up as I go along. Thanks for asking.)

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Yeah, last time everyone complained my puzzles were too hard so I intentionally made this one easy. Plus... I REALLY don't want to post these every morning for the next few days.

When I first posted this, this morning, the headline read "raises £4m".
I'll assume that the additional £2m comes from the generosity of CP members.

NINE million!
Apparently, quite a lot of the sponsorships have come from the US, which shows that good people everywhere appreciate good people anywhere.
