99 year old war veteran hoped to raise £1000 for the NHS...

First topic message reminder :
What a briliant story.
WWII heero Captain Tom Moore initially set out to raise £1,000 by walking 100 lengths of his 27-yard garden in Bedfordshire - but he has now smashed his target by 7,000 times in less than a week.
He has now raised more than £7million for the 'brave nurses and doctors' of the NHS by marching around his garden on a zimmer frame.

No doubt it will go to corporate executives' bloated salaries, as it did in 2008.

An update on Captain Tom Moore.
He is 100 today, his fund raising for the NHS will end tonight. He aimed to raise one thousand pounds initially, that has now snowballed into Thirty million pounds.
He has now been made an honorary colonel.
Some uplifting news amongst all the bad. x

Needless to say, so very happy for him. What an inspiration he has been. A bright spot in these gloomy times.
