A great-grandma of six celebrates her 100th birthday which has been made extra special thanks to her neighbours and family.
Bill Howe
A Cumbrian man is stepping up for his 101st birthday today by walking 100 paces to raise money for a county charity.
William Howe, known as Bill, has picked Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland as his charity of choice due to the care its team gave to his late wife Marjorie.
Having hoped to raise £100, Bill has already smashed his target and raised more than £600.
He said: âItâs very special, of course. Iâm not 101 every day. Itâs just nice to be able to thank all who have helped me over the years.â
This feat for the centenarian is part of the Captain Tom 100, which will see thousands of people nationwide raising money over the weekend by completing a range of challenges based on the number 100.
