David Beckham, Dame Judi Dench and Mary Berry among the celebrities taking on the Captain Tom 100 challenge over what would have been the weekend of Captain Sir Tom Moore’s 101st birthday – this Friday 30 April to Bank Holiday Monday 3 May.
The Captain Tom 100 invites everyone to dream up a challenge based around the number 100 and complete it anytime and anywhere over Captain Tom’s birthday weekend to raise funds or donate to The Captain Tom Foundation or the charity of their choice.
Captain Tom walked 100 laps of his garden raising £38.9m for the NHS at the height of the first wave of Covid. He died aged 100 on 2 February this year after becoming an international figurehead for Covid fundraising. He had initially hoped to raise £1,000 pounds before his 100th birthday before the 24-day task gained attention from media across the world.
