We're absolutely speechless and can't believe that so many people have donated. This page was set up in response to requests from wonderful people who wanted to donate to show their support following the broadcast of Mick's story on Channel 4. We never expected to reach the 100% target let alone 300% Christine & John have been reading the kind words left in the comments. Thank you so much for your support, those kind words have brought some comfort to the family.

Mick, and carers like him, truly are heroes to selflessly look after our elderly and vulnerable and hopefully his story will go some way to pushing the government to do something to recognise the contribution that carers make and to help families in Scotland that have lost their hero to this terrible virus.

From John (Mick's Partner): I and Christine want to say thank you to everyone that gave something for Mick.  We’re truly blown away and humbled that in just a few hours we’ve raised enough to pay for Mick’s funeral.   I was rather nervous about sharing Mick’s story because to him, it was all part of the job.  We’re so pleased that his story has touched so many of you.
