Story

Captain Sir Tom’s family are inviting the world to celebrate his life with an event that everyone can get involved in to celebrate his generosity of spirit, the hope and joy he brought to millions, and his sense of fun.

In honour of this national treasure, some of the Charity team have decided to take part in the 100 Challenge by doing 100 miles for smiles over the bank holiday weekend. The 100 miles will be split between the team, look out for our updates over the course of the weekend! 

You, the community can also take part in this challenge, from Friday 30 April to Monday 3 May, we are asking everyone to dream up a challenge based around the number 100, following the efforts of his famous 100 laps of his garden that raised an incredible £38.9 million for the NHS during the pandemic.

Will you follow in his footsteps and complete the 100 challenge? You could walk 100 miles like us, jump 100 times, make 100 cups of tea, bake 100 biscuits, the list is endless.
