99-Year-Old Army Veteran Tom Moore from Bedfordshire has raised over £5m for the NHS by doing laps of his back garden.
Ahead of his 100th birthday later this month he had planned to raise £1,000 by doing 100 laps of his garden.
5 MILLION!
Huge thank you to @JustGiving who had over 90,000 people on Tom’s page at one time, and had to try ensure that the site didn’t crash.
WOW – just speechless. #walkwithtom #tomorrowwillbeagoodday
