Captain Tom Moore is being honoured by the Queen after raising tens of millions of dollars by walking around his yard during the pandemic.

Moore says his initial goal was to walk 100 laps around his garden in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire before his 100th birthday. He had originally hoped to raise £1000 for the United Kingdom National Health Service.

Raising £32.8 million, or the Canadian equivalent of approximately $55.9 million, former British officer Captain Moore dedicated the millions in donations to NHS Charities Together.
