Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the legend, Ricky Davidshaw!
00:07
Ricky doesn't know how to do this and I didn't tell him because if I'd told him he wouldn't have let me do it.
00:12
He's currently battling a really rare spinal condition which could result in paralysis if it's left to kind of go on.
00:19
It's a degenerative condition. The NHS don't view it as a priority so they can't get him in for a good while.
00:25
So he's trying to raise the cash to pay for it privately. He needs to raise £15,000.
00:30
I wouldn't ask you guys to do anything that I wouldn't do so I've just put £110 in there.
00:35
And he needs £1,300 now to get to the £15,000 target. There's 400 odd of us in here.
00:41
It would be absolutely amazing if he could drive home tonight knowing he's got that fucking money and he hasn't got to worry about it anymore.
00:48
The tally for Ricky now stands at £15,085.
00:54
He's raised it up! Thank you so, so much.
00:59
He's driving down to Bob and Regis as we speak so he'll get a really nice surprise when he gets there that he's got the money for his operation.
01:08
And he's got £85 left over so he'll get a doggy nose when he gets there as well.
01:14
I cannot thank you enough. Without it I was going to be paralysed basically and you guys have made me hit the target.
01:23
I'm absolutely made up. I'm going to phone the hospital in the morning. It means the world. Thank you.
