Wicks said in his video: “I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but we have raised, from the t-shirt sales and the YouTube views on 55 workouts – you ready for it? Drum roll. We have raised, as a community, 500,000 large!’ he explained.

“500 grand! For the NHS Charities Together fund, which is amazing. I can’t believe that. I never intended to raise money, it was just an idea as it was going on and the YouTube views started racking up. I thought, ‘That’s gotta go somewhere, you know, the right place.'”
