TO JOHN A HUGE THANK YOU John Batty was so grateful to the ‘hospital heroes’ who saved his life that he took on a challenge to say thank you that also transformed his health – and raised a phenomenal £4,740 for NHS Charities Together. “In 2021 I was admitted to intensive care after
falling terribly ill with coronavirus. It was a horrific time for my family and I was certain I wasn’t going to make it.” With the care and commitment of the amazing NHS staff, John’s life was saved. He promised his son Sam that he’d make huge lifestyle changes to improve his health – so they could both ride the world’s fastest zipline together. John changed his diet, took up exercise and lost an incredible 45kg – whittling 10 inches from his waistline. Last Easter, John and Sam achieved their ambition, taking to the Velocity 2 Zip Line at Penhryn Quarry in Wales.
“The NHS staff all deserve medals,” John says. “I wanted to support them the way they supported me.”
