Captain Tom Moore: The 100 Year Old Hero Who Raised Millions #covidheroes #kindness

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Captain Tom Moore, a 99-year-old World War II veteran, set out to walk 100 laps in his garden before his 100th birthday to raise money for the UK’s National Health Service. His humble goal was to raise £1,000—but what happened next was extraordinary.

As his story spread, Captain Tom became a global sensation, and donations flooded in from around the world. By the time he completed his final lap, he had raised over £32 million! Captain Tom’s simple act of kindness became a symbol of hope, resilience, and community in a time of crisis. He even received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for his incredible efforts.
