Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and for supporting St John’s Hospital. I was so inspired by Major Tom’s dedication and amazing effort he put in ,it got me thinking while watching the news of this horrific pandemic ( covid19 ) that I wanted to try create something To say “Thank  you” to these amazing doctors , nurses , porters , cleaners and more that by putting there own so valuable lives at risk with little thought for themselves to save others and also for the so unfortunate victims of this diabolical disease and there families they have sadly left  made me feel so humbled that I wanted to try to create a lasting  memorial to all these amazing people , so decided to try commemorate this time by creating a metal sculptured pot of Poppies in NHS Blue to thank these truly amazing people working on “Thee Frontline “ with little thought for themselves “ Just Giving “

“Lest We Forget”

“I just Hammer Stuff” GeeBee,




I want to thank all the staff including doctors, nurses, porters, cleaners etc who give so much to save and protect the lives of others. And thank you to Agnes Ritchie, Nicola J Sinclair  and Jane Ferguson for allowing me to do this  wee thing . The sculpture will be displayed for a time in the reception of St John's Hospital, Livingston, then be displayed in a Memorial Garden at St Johns where these wee poppies will hopefully give families and loved ones somewhere to take a quiet minute and remember ,,

Please give what you can to our local lifesavers ,
