Love, Amelia are proud to have been involved with celebrating Captain Tom’s amazing achievements in a special event over his birthday weekend. Friday 30 April would have been Captain Sir Tom’s 101st birthday and is the one-year anniversary of the extraordinary celebrations that followed the conclusion of his fundraising walk that raised an incredible £38.9 million for the NHS.
Following the outpouring of heartfelt messages since Captain Sir Tom’s death on 2 February this year, his family pledged to celebrate his life with an event that everyone around the world could get involved in to celebrate his generosity, hope and sense of fun – the Captain Tom 100.
This challenge has promoted unity in communities to help raise funds for good causes. We have loved seeing the photos and videos of challenges completed and thank everyone for taking part. An amazing £380 has been raised for Love, Amelia which will help support more families across Sunderland and South Tyneside.
