At the start of May, Jack Rigby, 12, set out to fundraise £1,000 for every year since his fusilier father Lee Rigby’s horrific murder a decade ago.
His aim was to walk a marathon across the month to help him cope with the traumatic anniversary of Lee Rigby’s killing on May 22, hoping at the end he could donate £10,000 to the military bereavement charity Scotty’s Little Soldiers, who have always supported him.
But Jack has smashed his total. Following an outpouring of support including praise from the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Jack has raised more than £53,000 in Lee’s name.
