He’s done it! 99-year-old British war veteran Tom Moore has completed 100 laps of his garden and raised more than $15 million for the UK’s health service
“For all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment: the sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away,” said Moore, dressed in a blazer and tie and displaying his war medals, after completing his walk.
Raised in Yorkshire, northern England, Moore served in India, Burma and Sumatra during World War Two. So far, nearly 13,000 people with COVID-19 have died in British hospitals, the fifth-highest total globally. Twenty-seven were health workers, Health Minister Matt Hancock said. Afterwards he received messages of congratulation from figures from sport, politics and entertainment.
