the man with a pram tops £1 million! ECO SOFAS John Burkhill “The man with the pram” has today met his staggering target of £1million raised for Macmillan Cancer Support. For 26 years now, John has set out on marathon after marathon to raise money for Macmillan, after losing both his wife and daughter in 1991. The whole city has passed on its congratulations, while John had tears in his eyes after finally reaching the magic mark. And indeed, there are now calls from across the community for John to be rewarded with a knighthood! John has twice been recognised
by the Palace - being awarded a BEM in 2013, and then having the rare distinction of a “bar” added in 2020. Also in January of this year, his efforts were marked by the presentation of a British Citizen’s Award. But despite reaching the milestone, the inspirational 83-year-old has vowed not to stop his efforts, but will continue to push his pram round the streets of Sheffield - perhaps £2 million is not beyond the realms of possibility? Councillor Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said: “Raising £1 million is an incredible achievement
and a testament to John’s selflessness and determination. John’s charity work is known across Sheffield and beyond. I know the
whole city is so proud of him. With his Freedom of the City status, I’m sure he’s walked across every inch of this city with his green wig and pram. We
commend John on his dedication to Macmillan Cancer Support. His efforts have and will continue to change the lives of many.”
