Gordon Ramsay Donating Even More to Charity
Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite // Category: Main Content
Gordon Ramsay, has donated recipes to the Boundary Oak School project in order to raise money for charity. £2,500 for the school and £500 for the Rainbow Centre, a facility that helps youngsters with cerebral palsy.
The 80-page book is on sale from the school and the Rainbow Centre for £6, with £1 from each book going to the Rainbow Centre. People in Britain who wish to obtain a copy can call the school (01329) 280955.
One report accredited more to Gordon Ramsay than just donating recipes, he was also said to have recruited other high profile chefs (I won’t say celebrity chef – I know how much that pisses off Gordon Ramsay) which include Gary Rhodes, Nigella Lawson, Nick Nairn and Phil Vickery.
Gordon Ramsay has also done a bunch of other charity work and to summarise, I just lifted this from the very comprehensive Wikipedia page on Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay has been involved in a series of charitable events and organisations. Ramsay has run the London Marathon in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 to support Tommy’s, the baby charity. Ramsay completed his third London Marathon on 22 April 2007, in 4 hrs 36 minutes 10 secs (3:46:10 in 2006).[58] In 2004, he and his wife, Tana, raised £14,000. Ramsay commented: “I’m proud to have run the Marathon for Tommy’s, the baby charity – their cause is one very close to my heart, especially as my own twins were born three weeks prematurely in 1999″.[13] He aims to complete ten marathons in consecutive years.
During March 2005 Ramsay teamed up with Indian chef Madhur Jaffrey to help the VSO, an international development charity group to support its Spice Up Your Life event. The charity hoped to raise £100,000 for VSO’s work in HIV and AIDS in India.[14] The Ramsays were the first couple to become ambassadors for the women’s charity Women’s Aid in 2005. The couple ran the Flora Families marathon [15] to support Women’s Aid.[16]
The Gordon Ramsay “Buy a Brick” appeal launched in September 2004 helped the Scottish Spina Bifida Association build a new Family Support Centre and Head Office in Glasgow. In November 2007 Ramsay hosted a St Andrew’s Day Gala Dinner at Stirling Castle in aid of the Association.
Gordon Ramsay – you are the man!
