Captain Tom Moore, the British war veteran who raised millions for charities supporting the country’s health service during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, has died with the virus aged 100.
In April 2020, Moore committed to walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday to raise money for charities supporting the National Health Service (NHS). His endeavor quickly made him a national sensation, and raised a total of £32.9 million ($45 million).
