And finally… Construction worker gets Boris tattoo to raise money
Reading time: 2 minutes
A construction worker got a huge grimacing picture of Prime Minister Boris Johnson tattooed on his stomach to raise money for a friend’s life-saving cancer treatment.
Kenny Wilding from Kidderminster raised £800 for family friend Megan Smith who has been referred to the US for treatment for advanced rectal cancer.
Megan’s family are hoping to raise £150,000 to help the 25-year-old who was diagnosed with the life-threatening disease in January 2019.
Kenny told the Metro: “It all started when I saw Megan’s GoFundMe page and saw she needed to raise money to save her life. It’s her last chance so I wanted to do something.
“It hurt. I nearly wet myself. But Bozza is a legend. I will never regret doing it as it was for a special young lady.”
Megan’s family is £46,000 towards their £150,000 target to get her to LA.
Her sister Terri, 34, said: “When Kenny first told us that he was having a Boris Johnson tattoo done to raise money for Megan’s treatment we all laughed but thought it was a brilliant idea.
“It’s so relevant with everything going on at the moment and definitely something Kenny would do as he’s very humorous and loves nothing more than to make people laugh – even more so during difficult times.
“The support that everyone has shown so far has been so overwhelming but absolutely amazing.
“My sister needs all the help and support she can get to help fight this awful disease and me and my family are so grateful for everything everyone’s done.”
