Captain Tom’s 100 Challenge

Building a legacy of unity and hope…
Friday 30 April would have been Sir Captain Tom’s 101st birthday and it’s one year since he completed his inspired 100 garden laps, raising £38.9 million for the NHS. Captain Tom’s message of hope “tomorrow will be a good day” resonated with people all over the globe. His kindness and life achievements will never be forgotten.
