A Facebook page set-up by a Norwich man to celebrate NHS workers has more than 18,000 members all cheering for public service workers.
NHS Superheroes was created by Danny Moloney,50, a keen fundraiser who has collected about £650,000 for charity over the past 10 years.
Members of the page have been nominating their NHS heroes who are on the front line fighting coronavirus.
James Ames nominated his partner Lisa Stokes, 33, who is working on the Covid-19 ward at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH).
After the Horsford family and herself caught the virus, upon being kept in the hospital and recovering, she went back to work on the same ward.
Mr Ames, 30, said: “Her motivation to get into work and do 13 hour shifts while her family are at home has been amazing.
“We have all had the coronavirus and have recovered from it so she has been on that ward for six weeks and about four weeks into she brought the virus home.
“We were poorly and even then she wanted to get back to work and help out. She was even in hospital with breathlessness but the minute she was better and tested negative she was back into those shifts.
“It makes me proud and it’s overwhelming being so close to it all.”

Ms O’Connor, 52, said: “It’s hard to explain how proud I am.
“She’s frightened and scared but she goes in and does her job because if she didn’t who will look after these people?
“She is risking it all to look after people. Everyday she comes home and has no idea if she has it.”

She nominated her two daughters, Hollie Etches, 19, who is working as a trainee nursing associate in radiology at NNUH and Chloe Ellie, who is a community phlebotomist.
