CELEBRITIES JOIN EVERYDAY HEROES TO CELEBRATE CAPTAIN TOM 100

27th April 2021

The Movement Centre are delighted that one of our Captain Tom 100 challenges has been picked up by London Marathon Events, and we are featured below.

David Beckham, Dame Judi Dench and Mary Berry are just some of the celebrities urging the nation to take on the Captain Tom 100 challenge over what would have been the weekend of Captain Sir Tom Moore’s 101st birthday – Friday 30 April to Bank Holiday Monday 3 May.

The Captain Tom 100 invites everyone to dream up a challenge based around the number 100 and complete it anytime and anywhere over Captain Tom’s birthday weekend to raise funds or donate to The Captain Tom Foundation or the charity of their choice.

Celebrities lending their support to the campaign include:

  • David Beckham who will be doing 100 keepy-uppies
  • Mary Berry will be baking 100 cakes
  • Jess Ennis-Hill is set to complete 100 pogo jumps,
  • Dame Judi Dench will be overindulging by eating 100 chocolates!
  • Konnie Huq will cartwheel 100 times round her garden
  • Amanda Holden is hula-hooping
  • Ellie Simmonds is swimming 100 lengths
  • Joe Root will hit a cricket ball 100 times

Captain Tom’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, said: “The support from around the world for the Captain Tom 100 has been incredible and we are so excited to see it get underway on what would have been my father’s 101st birthday. It’s the perfect way to celebrate his remarkable achievements and also ensure his message of hope lives on. We plan to spend some time that weekend retracing his 100 laps of our garden and reflecting on treasured family memories. He would have really enjoyed watching people across the country uniting to have fun and inspire hope with their Captain Tom 100 challenges. It’s going to be a very special bank holiday weekend.”

The public and charities have already started raising money for their challenges and have been sharing them via #CaptainTom100. These include:

  • 5-year old Betty-Leigh Allison who will be baking 100 cakes to raise money for Garden House Hospice Care in North Hertfordshire.
  • Five-year-old Lewis Whele, (Lewis’s Little Legs) from Essex, who has cerebral palsy, will be aiming to walk 100 steps without using his sticks.
  • Curtis Langley and Ben Hampson, both from Shropshire, will be playing 100 holes of golf in their 18-hour challenge to raise money for The Movement Centre.
  • Mother and daughter team, Angela and Charlotte Reid, from South Devon, will be walking 100 lengths of Sidmouth seafront together. Charlotte will take part from her wheelchair and is hoping to take a few steps along the way. They will be walking 20 lengths a day between 29 April and 3 May raising money for Brain Tumour Research.

Many companies and organisations are also signed up to the Captain Tom 100 including Great Western Railway (GWR), Formula One motor racing team Williams Racing and Captain Tom’s birthplace in Keighley – all hoping to inspire others to get creative with their own challenges.

GWR will send the ‘Captain Tom Centennial’, an Intercity Express train, on an epic journey across its network as it stops at 100 stations in just over 40 hours, covering nearly 1,500 miles. Williams Racing is aiming to complete 100 pitstops over the course of the Portuguese Grand Prix weekend raising money for the team’s Official Charity – Spinal Injuries Association. And the town of Keighley in West Yorkshire, where Captain Tom was born, is encouraging its residents to join in to honour Captain Tom’s memory. Town Mayor Cllr Peter Corkindale will be walking 100 times around the Town Hall Square on Friday 30 April, while Robbie Moore MP has pledged to run 10 x 10k runs over the next 10 weeks.

The family will be launching proceedings for the Captain Tom 100 weekend from a very iconic London sporting venue on the morning of Friday 30 April.

Once supporters have chosen their Captain Tom 100 challenge, they are invited to fundraise or donate to The Captain Tom Foundation or another charity of their choice and share their 100 on social media, using #CaptainTom100.

The Captain Tom 100 is organised by The Captain Tom Foundation with London Marathon Events and supported by the Mass Participation Sports Organisers (MSO), adam&eveDDB, LiveWire Sport and Studio Republic (all working pro bono).

There was plenty of bubbly fun to match Annabelle's personality at her latest review. She also did some super sitting and had the support on her standing frame lowered.⠀
⠀
Well done Annabelle!⠀

Today marks the start of #LearningDisabilityWeek.⠀

Not every child we see has a diagnosed learning disability, nor can we help with learning difficulties, but we know how much a physical disability can impact a child's education and friendships.⠀
⠀
Being able to make a positive difference for children's time at nursery and school is so rewarding ❤️⠀
