99-year old Tom Moore’s actions have raised $2.8 MILLLION dollars for the U.K.’s National Health Service.
How did he do it?
Tom, a WWII veteran, decided that he would walk across his backyard, 100 times. His original target was about £1,000 (~$1200) and he surpassed that goal in just one day.
Not only is this story an example of Tom’s determination to help the healthcare workers, it is also a beautiful example of the generosity of the British citizens, as the public funded his “backyard walk.”
