Happy Birthday Tom - 100 Years Old
Captain Tom Moore came to our attention here in the UK about 5 weeks ago, just as we started in 'lockdown'. He was 99 years old and had decided that he would like to raise some money for the NHS (National Health Service). His aim was to raise £1000 by walking 100 laps of his garden before he reached the age of 100 on April 30th. Within a few days he had reached his target and the money just kept flowing in from all over the country. By the end of last week he had raised £30 million pounds - an amazing amount of money. The UK was gripped by Capt. Tom Moore and his power of motivation and achievement. He has also made a number one hit with Michael Ball - 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. He has received so many birthday cards and good wishes that they have been displayed in the local primary school. To celebrate his birthday today he was given a flypast by a hurricane and spitfire. He has also received the traditional birthday card from the Queen.
Happy Birthday Tom you are our shining light
