Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit 'Tom's 100th Birthday Walk For The NHS' page.
Captain Tom Moore, is aiming to walk a hundred lengths of the back garden(which is 25m in length) before he is 100 years old at the end of the month.
So get behind Tom as he does 10 laps a day!
A bio on Tom:
Tom was born and brought up in Keighley, Yorkshire. He went to Keighley Grammar School and later completed an apprenticeship as a Civil Engineer. Tom went onto being enlisted in 8 DWR (145 RAC) at the beginning of the war, and in 1940 was selected for Officer training. He was later posted to 9DWR in India, and served and fought on the Arakan, went to Regiment to Sumatra after the Japanese surrender and returned to be Instructor at Armoured Fighting Vehicle School in Bovington.

NHS Charities Together is a collective experience representing, supporting and championing the work of the NHS' official charities. NHS Charities give £1million a day to the NHS, providing vital funds to help the NHS do more. So we here at Maytrix thought, what better cause to donate to at a time like this.
Maytrix is the company owned by Tom's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and son-in-law, Colin Ingram. We set this page up, without any idea that it would become as highly visited as it is, and more of 'heartwarming' story for the local region. It is completely blown up, and we are so proud to be representing Tom and his 100th birthday walk for the NHS.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We have only gone and done it....over 1 million pound. We are so thrilled, and so glad to be able to unite our country at such a sad time and all for our incredible NHS. Tom would like to thank all of you, from the bottom of his heart.

Tom has only managed to raise over £250,000 after appearing on BBC Radio 2 and talking to the incredible Michael Ball, so we thought; why not set the bar even higher? Let's raise half a million pounds for our NHS heroes.
