From Justgiving page: So far ?7,170,240.67 raised


'Captain Tom Moore, is aiming to walk a hundred lengths of the back garden(which is 25m in length) before he is 100 years old at the end of the month.



So get behind Tom as he does 10 laps a day!


A bio on Tom:


Tom was born and brought up in Keighley, Yorkshire. He went to Keighley Grammar School and later completed an apprenticeship as a Civil Engineer. Tom went onto being enlisted in 8 DWR (145 RAC) at the beginning of the war, and in 1940 was selected for Officer training. He was later posted to 9DWR in India, and served and fought on the Arakan, went to Regiment to Sumatra after the Japanese surrender and returned to be Instructor at Armoured Fighting Vehicle School in Bovington.

NHS Charities Together is a collective experience representing, supporting and championing the work of the NHS' official charities. NHS Charities give ?1million a day to the NHS, providing vital funds to help the NHS do more. So we here at Maytrix thought, what better cause to donate to at a time like this.

Maytrix is the company owned by Tom's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and son-in-law, Colin Ingram. We set this page up, without any idea that it would become as highly visited as it is, and more of 'heartwarming' story for the local region. It is completely blown up, and we are so proud to be representing Tom and his 100th birthday walk for the NHS.


Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.


Please send us your videos saying 'please donate' to [email protected]'

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
