Fair play to him, puts a lot of young people to shame.

Soon to be 100 Tom will be over £10m for his garden charity walk by the end of Wednesday night.
We’ve put our family contribution in as have nearly 500,000 other people.
Tom i salute you sir.......what an effort by yourself and the great British public.
Surely a knighthood for his 100th birthday.

I think this guy and what he’s achieved is incredible. I’ve heard that there’s a separate campaign to get Red Arrows to fly past his house for his 100th birthday. That would be such a great touch to this story.
I’ll be making a contribution later to just giving.

24 hours later and it’s nearly £16.3m.
If he keeps it going he could find the NHS on his own 😎😆

This guy is incredible and a true legend and saw him and his family on TV yesterday that they had hoped for £1,000.
Hope he gets to £20m soon.

How sad to find out that “Just Giving” take a proportion of every donation.
I was really peed off when I found that out.
They should forsake every penny on this one!

Gone past £20m now.
Fantastic🕺🕺🕺😎
