Beckham and Dench help to launch Captain Tom fundraising drive
The Peninsula
LONDON: The family of Britain's Captain Tom Moore, the World War Two veteran who lifted a nation's spirits during the pandemic, joined forces with David Beckham and Judi Dench to kick off a long weekend of fundraising events on Friday.
Moore, who made headlines around the world by raising nearly 40 million pounds ($56 million) for the National Health Service by walking around his garden with the help of a frame, died in February. To mark the impact he had on the country, his family have called on celebrities and volunteers to come up with a challenge around the number 100 and complete it over the April 30 to May 3 Bank Holiday long weekend.
