It has been a little over a week since Captain Tom Moore set out to raise £1,000 for healthcare workers by walking 100 lengths of his garden before his 100th birthday on April 30th.

Moore, who began his walks last Monday on April 6th, initially set a fundraising target of £1,000 for NHS Charities Together with the sole expectation of garnering support from his village of Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire.
After hitting international headlines last week, however, Moore’s campaign quickly surged past its original target, making it the single largest individual fundraiser in the history of the UK.
