99-year-old veteran walked 100 laps in his garden to raise money to thank doctors
World War II veteran Captain Tom Moore staged an action to support the British health care system. He walked 100 laps around his garden and collected 13,000 times the planned amount.
Initially, Tom Moore wanted to raise £ 1,000, but his action caused such a resonance that the amount was 13,000 times more. This charity event was dedicated by a veteran of World War II to doctors who were able to cure him of a hip fracture and skin cancer, writes the BBC.
The 99-year-old man made his passage through the garden, of course, not independently. During the passage, he relied on a walker. He went live 100 rounds of 25 m.
By noon, almost 650 thousand people donated 13 thousand pounds. His charity event aroused gratitude not only from doctors but also politicians. The latter even made a proposal to knight the captain.
Another resident of Great Britain Kevin Webber ran 230 km right in the backyard of his house. So he participated in absentia in the super marathon Marathon des Sables, which is held annually in the Sahara desert.
