Former McLaren supremo Ron Dennis has created a scheme to supply a million free meals to workers in Britain's National Health Service during the coronavirus outbreak.
Dennis said Monday his foundation would provide a budget of 1.5 million pounds (USD 1.8 million, 1.7 million euros) after linking up with other organisations with the aim of supplying 1,000 meals a day to health workers.
"I wanted a big solution to a big problem," Dennis told the BBC.
"It is an amazing effort, which I think is reflective of my reputation. If I say I'm going to do something I do it."
"We now have volume and as we speak we are ramping up...We're looking at 1,000 meals a day. It will be challenging, but we will get there."
