CAPTAIN TOM 100

Celebrate Captain Tom’s amazing achievements over his birthday weekend to raise funds for CHSF!

We’re inviting you to take part in Captain Tom 100 from Friday 30 April to Bank Holiday Monday (3 May 2021) to celebrate Captain Sir Tom Moore and raise vital funds for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund continued to support the thousands living with congenital heart disease in our region.

CHD didn’t stop for COVID-19 and neither did we.

Inspired by the incredible achievements of Captain Sir Tom Moore, the Captain Tom 100 gives everyone the chance to raise funds for CHSF.

Start fundraising

GET INSPIRED

Everyone – of all ages and abilities – is invited to take on a challenge around the number 100, any time and anywhere over Captain Tom’s birthday weekend, starting on Friday 30 April through to Bank Holiday Monday 3 May. All you need to do is dream up your Captain Tom 100 and get started!

It could be walking 100 steps or running 100 metres, baking 100 cakes, hopping 100 laps of the garden, writing a 100-word poem – or simply donating 100 pennies!

It’s your chance to do it your way and help to raise vital funds for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund at the same time. See loads of 100 fundraising inspiration here.
