Captain Tom 100 partners with Snowland Journeys

From March 2020 until now has been an incredibly tough time fundraising for charities and Snowland Journeys is no exception. Which makes Sir Captain Tom’s drive to keep moving in motivation even more remarkable.

Captain Tom reached for the sky and touched the moon, smashing his £1000 goal as he walked 100 lengths of his garden to celebrate his 100th birthday, going on to raise £32 million!

In honour of this amazing feat, the WWII veteran's family are asking people to take on their own Captain Tom 100 charity challenge - just like the epic fundraiser himself. Snowland Journeys is proud to be associated with Captain Tom’s 100 and welcome all who want to take part.

The challenge takes place between 30th April (what would have been Captain Tom's 101st birthday) and 3rd May, and you can do 100 of whatever you want to raise money.

Whether it's completing 100 sit ups (tough!), smiling 100 times (happy!), scoring 100 goals (scoooorrreee!) or baking 100 cakes (yummy!), it's up to you.

Decide what your 100 will be, then either set yourself up a bespoke page by clicking 'fundraise for us' or simply share the link to this page with your supporters, and let's smash this challenge and make Captain Tom proud!

Your Captain Tom 100 will help ensure Himalayan children maintain contact with their families, communities and culture alongside their right to education, and will ensure the children are physically and emotionally equipped to make the long journey home to reintegrate with parents they often haven’t seen or spoken to for more than a decade, due to the remoteness of their villages.

Thank you for your support and good luck!
