On 6 April 2020, Captain Tom Moore set out round his garden to thank our NHS heroes. One hundred laps later, he’d raised an incredible £38.9 million for the NHS Covid-19 appeal.
His simple message of hope – “Tomorrow will be a good day” – inspired millions around the world and brought comfort and joy to so many during the pandemic.
Friday 30 April would have been his 101st birthday and to honour him and his amazing achievements, we would love everyone, of all ages and abilities, to take part in the Captain Tom 100 Challenge.
The Walney Wind Cheetah Cubs are taking part by hosting a Litter Pick around our local area. To take part in this challenge all you need to do is head out around your local area and pick up some litter to help keep our wonderful community clean. The challenge centres around the number 100 so we challenge you, as a team, to collect 100 bags of litter in total over the weekend. The challenge runs from Friday 30th April to Sunday 2nd May 2021.
Every Penny we raise will be donated by us as a club to Mind in Furness - A charity that supports local people with their mental health - a cause that has helped so many throughout the pandemic.
Mind in Furness Mission Statement:
Our vision is to work proactively and in partnership with statutory and other organisations and individuals: to promote mental health and to improve the quality of life for people suffering from, or with the potential to suffer from, mental distress by providing and encouraging user-led activities and services and to increase awareness of those issues through education and a strong, positive presence in the local community
Thank you for any donation, however big or small it is very much appreciated!
