In 2020, Captain Tom inspired the nation when he challenged himself to walk 100 laps of his garden to raise money for our NHS. To celebrate what would have been his 101st birthday, the Captain Tom 100 challenges you to take on your own 100 challenge from Friday 30 April to Monday 3 May.
From covering 100 miles over the weekend to doing a silly activity 100 times, you can make this challenge whatever you want it to be. When you’ve decided what you’d like to do, simply set up your JustGiving page and start fundraising for your local hospitals.
