Captain Tom Moore Finishes His 100th Lap Raising Over £20m
“I think it’s an absolute fantastic sum of money. I would never imagine that sort of money. It’s just sort of….. Unbelievable that people have been so kind to give that sort of money to the National Health Service.
I was responsible for starting it, but not deliberately, it was purely as, shall we say gratitude for what they’ve done for me”
