Captain Tom 100

This bank holiday weekend, to celebrate what would have been Captain Tom’s 101st birthday; we are asking you to join us in the Captain Tom 100, to raise money for Head to Toe.

Captain Tom was an inspiration to all, capturing the hearts of our nation during the most challenging time in recent history.  

With his famous ‘100 laps’, and the unprecedented amount of money he raised, NHS Charities across the country have been able to fund projects to support the health and wellbeing of their patients, staff and communities throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now, we are inviting you to help build on that legacy by taking on your own personal challenge, to raise money for Head to Toe.
