What an inspiration!!!
This WW2 Army vet is 99 years old.....100 at end of month.
He wanted to raise £1000 by walking 100 laps of his garden, for our NHS.....
Well he truly got to the hearts of the nation....

Sadly, Captain Sir Tom Moore passed away today. Covid claimed him after he had pneumonia.
He was knighted for his efforts by the Queen last summer. 100years old.
I think he eventually raised just under £33 M for our NHS.
RIP Sir Tom, you earned it.
