Despite being 100 years old, a volunteer at a charity shop dedicately spends 12 hours each week getting there and back.<\/p>\n

David Flucker just celebrated a significant birthday, but he continues to commute to the St. Columba’s Hospice shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, despite his advanced age.<\/p>\n

The Centurian travels to the shop in four hours total, regardless of the chilly Baltic conditions. <\/p>\n

After receiving a prostate cancer diagnosis, the energetic widower started working in the charity shop. After receiving care from the Hospice for two weeks, he merely wanted to return the favor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to Good News Network, the senior said, ‘It is a great feeling to be working.’ ‘To get to the shop, it takes at least two hours, two buses, and a 20-minute walk.<\/p>\n

The busiest days of the week for me to work are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday’ the Balgreen, Edinburgh, resident remarked.<\/p>\n

The grandfather of seven apparently receives many donations for the store in Ocean Terminal, and he inspects each one to make sure they’re all good. ‘We frequently receive toys, books, and jigsaw puzzles. <\/p>\n

The man, who genuinely enjoys the social element of his job since it allows him to meet people who ‘come in simply to speak, added, ‘We have to check them all over.’<\/p>\n

Flucker, who lost his wife in 2010, also enjoys making model railroads, which he then sells at auction to generate money for a hospice. The 72-year-old Flucker, who retired, does not let his senior age prevent him from living life to the utmost. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He just celebrated his birthday on June 22 by taking a boat excursion in the Firth of Forth. Even the Queen herself sent a card to the elderly guy.<\/p>\n

‘I visited areas of Scotland I had never been to before. and had a pleasant surprise when the band began to sing ‘happy birthday,’ ‘He revealed.<\/p>\n

His regulars from the secondhand store came pouring in to wish him well and bring him a \u2018marvelous birthday cake’ topped in raspberries. The delighted Scotsman, hoping to live a longer, healthier life, exclaimed, ‘There may be more birthday cakes.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite being 100 years old, a volunteer at a charity shop dedicately spends 12 hours each week getting there and back.
