Andrian Melka Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for Sculpture of Captain Sir Tom Moore
8th April 2021
Andrian Melka has launched a crowdfunding campaign to try and raise £28,000 to cast a bronze sculpture of Captain Sir Tom Moore. The home for the finished statue will be a newly refurbished courtyard garden at Leeds Chapel Allerton Hospital for patients who are undergoing lengthy and intensive rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury, long-term neurological conditions or following a stroke. It’s hoped that the statue of the 100-year-old war veteran determinedly walking laps of his garden on his walking frame will inspire patients on their own difficult road to recovery.
The project aims to create a statue that captures the hope Captain Tom brought to so many through his inspirational fundraising walk, and to commemorate his exceptional legacy in not only raising vast sums to support the NHS, but in inspiring others to follow his lead and put one foot in front of the other and keep going throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
Donate to the project and help Andrian achieve his target here.
