In April 2020, during Britain’s first COVID lockdown, a World War II veteran named Tom Moore set out to walk 100 laps of his garden in Bedfordshire before his 100th birthday. Each loop was about 82 feet. His goal was to raise 1,000 pounds for NHS charities. People were so moved that donations poured in from everywhere, and in the end he had raised almost 33 million pounds. He became Captain Sir Tom, and his simple saying, “Tomorrow will be a good day,” spread across the country. He died in February 2021 at 100, remembered as a beacon of hope.
