A man has counted to 100 for the first time since he suffered a major stroke, as part of the Captain Tom 100 campaign.
The campaign asks people to create their own charity challenge themed around the number 100 to mark what would have been famous fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore’s 101st birthday.
Gary Yates, who is originally from Leicester but now lives in St Gallen, Switzerland, achieved the milestone after weeks of practice and numerous failed attempts.
The 58-year-old lost his ability to speak and is now cared for by his wife Pauline after he had a severe ischemic stroke two and a half years ago.
