One anonymous medical student, one simple idea, and a million small acts of generosity. Could £1 from enough people change several lives — and help me give something back too?
Tracker counts successful, non-refunded £1 checkouts. We ask each person to contribute once, but the tracker does not identity-verify unique humans. “Gross contributed” is before Stripe/payment-processing fees.
No pressure to give more. The idea is deliberately built around £1 being enough. By contributing, you acknowledge the contribution terms and privacy notice.
The highlighted piece represents one person. The larger mark represents what happens when enough individual contributions come together.
I’m keeping my identity private, but I don’t want the project itself to feel distant. The goals, numbers and evidence will be public so people can follow exactly where the journey goes.
The £1 million figure is the experiment. The First Mission is £500,000 in intended allocations from net funds available after payment-processing and unavoidable operating costs.
The personal side of the project — getting through medical school and doing something meaningful for the people who helped me get here.
Supporting people facing illness, caring responsibilities and the financial barriers that can stand between someone and a medical career.
Practical support for people whose circumstances can limit safety, independence or opportunity.
Giving part of the project beyond my immediate story — to humanitarian work, basic needs and animals who depend on people.
Someone sees the project on Instagram or through a shared supporter post.
They see the tracker, the £500K first mission and the transparency commitments.
A secure external checkout processes the contribution. The website never asks for card details directly.
Supporters can share that they are one of the million and help the next person discover it.
“The experiment is not that I need £1 million. The experiment is whether one million people will each contribute one dollar.”
Because the account is faceless, the evidence has to do more work.
The public tracker is fed from successful, non-refunded £1 payment records. It shows gross contributions; payment-processing fees reduce the net funds available for allocations.
Supporting documents can be published with names, addresses, student identifiers and medical identifiers removed.
Charitable transfers should be published with dates and amounts so supporters can see what was actually donated.
Secure payment checkout will open in a new tab once connected.
