I daresay I wasn’t the only one to be a bit surprised to read of the recent £1,000,000
donation that the actor Ricky Tomlinson (Royle Family, etc) made to Ronald McDonald
House. He has a reputation for supporting a number of charities, and I can remember
hearing of his political activism when he started to hit the big time on Brookside(!),
but I never had him down as a potential £1,000,000 donor. But then, what would I
know? How little we know about the wealth of people.

As a matter of interest, he donated £200,000 to the Cheshire and North Wales Human
Milk Bank in 2008, so he clearly has form.

Keep up the good work Ricky.
