Story
On 6 April 2020, Captain Tom Moore set out round his garden to thank our NHS heroes. One hundred laps later, he'd raised an incredible £38.9 million for the NHS Covid-19 appeal.
His simple message of hope – "Tomorrow will be a good day" – inspired millions around the world and brought comfort and joy to so many during the pandemic.
Now it's your turn to build on that legacy. Friday 30 April would have been his 101st birthday and to honour him and his amazing achievements, The Captain Tom Foundation would love everyone, of all ages and abilities, to take part in the Captain Tom 100.
The Captain Tom Foundation invited everyone take on a challenge around the number 100 anytime and anywhere over Captain Tom's birthday weekend. It's so simple.
- Think up your 100 challenge. It can be anything you like – from walking 100 metres to baking 100 cakes or writing 100 letters
- Take on your 100 any time between Friday 30 April and Monday 3 May
- Fundraise or donate to the charity of your choice or The Captain Tom Foundation
- Share your 100 on social media using #CaptainTom100
So myself and Ian have decided to cycle 100Km on the canals around Wolverhampton, Dudley and Walsall in honour of Captain Tom and to raise funds for our charity WCASG
