The whole country is fighting against Covid-19. Meanwhile, a former warrior of 99-year-old British in World War II has donated over $9 million for National Health Service of the U.K. Tom Moore – army captain – started walking 100 loops of his back garden in Bedfordshire while serving in British-ruled India and Burma. It estimated around 50 miles northwest of London. He did that before his 100th birthday on April 30.

Because it collapsed by more than 90.000 was trying to access at one point. Until now, there are over 347.000 people contribute to Moore’s efforts. Additionally, Moore told the BBC the flood of donations was “entirely out of this world.”

Moore has a plan going on to cause foundation, more 100 laps with a number of money rise ten laps everyday. Furthermore, the money is going to move to NHS Charity Together, a team that supports NHS medical staff, volunteers, facilities and patients.

“Life is all about purpose – we all need goals,” Ingram-Moore told the BBC. “While he had a purposeful life, he fell and broke his hip and became much less independent than he was 98 years ago.” Ingram-Moore said the British public and sponsors gave her father a new purpose at the end of his life: “I think he will do this until people say, “Stop it, stop doing this.”
