Captain Sir Tom Moore, the 100-year-old British veteran who became a national hero after raising millions for frontline pandemic workers by walking laps in his garden, has died after being diagnosed with coronavirus last week.
Moore will be remembered for raising $45 million for the National Health Service’s frontline pandemic workers by asking for donations to walk 100 laps in his front yard before his 100th birthday in April.
Initially, Moore only aimed to raise roughly $1,200, but his pledge soon went viral, allowing him to donate more than $45 million thanks to donations from around 1.5 million people.
In July, Queen Elizabeth II knighted Moore in one of her first public appearances after entering quarantine last year.
