Captain Tom who is 100 years old at the end of the month decided to do 100 laps of his garden, doing 10 a day to raise money for N.H.S. He served in 2nd world war. Has had a new hip & was so pleased with N.H.S. that he wanted to raise £1000 pounds to help in this pandemic to say thankyou to them.
He has now smashed £4million pounds. He is now saying he will carry on doing his laps, maybe another 100.
Makes my heart sing to watch & listen to him. True British spirit.
I know it is the power of TV but I am proud of you & when this is all over you deserve another medal. <3 <3

He raised a lot of money when he was shown on regional tv but wow! Just look at what national tv can do.

Strewth! More than 6 million.

Captain Tom is a hero twice over. A lesson in how a simple act can mean so much.

He's on over 7 million pounds now. He's going up by about a thousand pounds every 10 seconds or so. Amazing!!

Wow! Go for it Tom, can he reach 10 miliion, I think he can, have donated.
So inspiring <3 <3

Well ,what a guy!!! he wont forget his 100th birthday for a while, I'm sure....

Thought yesterday could he reach 10 million, well he has now passed 12 million pounds & reaches his 100 laps today but looks like he is going to carry on. Daughter said they were planning a big party for his 100th birthday but said it would be a smaller party, think he is going to get a surprise for his birthday, think Postie will need a van to deliver to his house.
Well done Tom <3

It's truly incredible and heartwarming that this amount has been raised and I hope it will be wisely used for the intended purposes.I

I hope Tom will stay well for his 100th birthday and beyond. He must be thrilled and so proud.

Wel! done, sir.

Absolutely amazing! <3 <3 <3

What a wonderful, lovely man <3 <3 <3

It heading toward 13 million now :-D

If you want to send him a birthday card, here is the address. Capt. Tom Moore, C/O Post Office Ltd., 67, Bedford Rd. Marston Moretaine. Beds. MK43 0LA

Might get 10 million of them, lol

I hope not, Hilary.

Every card carries a risk no matter how minute that risk is, and let's not forget that his age leaves him particularly vulnerable. I, for one, would not want to increase that risk to an elderly man who has done so brilliantly well. <3

True JoyLouise, hopefully they will be folded in & not licked because I have a feeling he is going to be inundated with cards from all over the world, hopefully his family has thought of this.

Last I heard he had raised 15 million and there's a petition doing its rounds on facebook asking the PM to put his name forward for a knighthood I hope it will happen but I don't know how with all this going on

Now over 17 million pounds, way it is going he will reach 20 million pounds. <3
Tell him on his 100th birthday that he is getting a Knighthood & allow him to be called Sir then do the honours when possible.

Captain Tom’s achievements stand so tall, a statue in his honour can never match up.

A remarkable man :-D

He is a true gentleman the money he has raised is amazing God Bless Him Sir would be great <3 xx

Now smashed £21 million pounds, how far can he go? <3
