What an absolute legend...!
A 99-year-old war veteran has walked 100 laps of his garden to raise more than £12m for the NHS.
The team at Oakwood homes want to give a big shout out to Captain Tom Moore for his epic fund raiser which has received amazing news coverage in recent days. A massive congratulations and enormous THANK YOU from Oakwood homes - you are an inspiration to us all.
Captain Tom Moore originally wanted to raise £1,000 for NHS Charities Together by completing laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.
But he smashed his target after more than 620,000 people made donations to his fundraising page.
As he finished the challenge, he said: "I feel fine, I hope you're all feeling fine too."
He told the BBC earlier that the total amount raised so far was "an absolutely fantastic sum of money".
"We could never imagine that sort of money and it's unbelievable that people could be so kind to give that sort of money to the NHS," he said.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has told BBC Breakfast Mr Moore was "an inspiration to us all". "This is an awful crisis but there are some little shafts of light".
Captain Moore began raising funds to thank the "magnificent" NHS staff who helped him with treatment for cancer and a broken hip.
With the aid of a walking frame, he aimed to complete 100 laps of the 25-metre (82ft) loop in his garden in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, in 10-lap chunks, before his 100th birthday.
"Every penny that we get, they [the NHS] deserve every one of it," he said, as the total exceeded the £5m mark on Wednesday.
NHS Charities Together, which support health service charities and will benefit from the funds, said it was "truly inspired and humbled".
More than 600,000 people from around the world have donated money to his fundraising page since it was set up last week.
Mr Moore, who is originally from Keighley in West Yorkshire, trained as a civil engineer before enlisting in the Army for World War Two, rising to captain and serving in India and Myanmar, also known as Burma.
When the fund hit £5m, Mr Moore's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore told the BBC the amount raised was "beyond our wildest expectations".
