MAN&BOY SUPPORTERS INVITED TO CELEBRATE CAPTAIN SIR TOM’S ACHIEVEMENTS IN SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENT
Following the outpouring of heartfelt messages since the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore on 2 February, his family pledged to celebrate his life with an event that everyone, in the UK and around the world, could be involved in. Man&Boy is proud to be inviting our supporters to take part.
Man&Boy like many other charities, has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Captain Tom 100 offers Man&Boy supporters, of all ages and abilities, the opportunity to raise crucial funds for our charity, while at the same time celebrating Captain Tom’s generosity of spirit, the hope and joy he brought to millions, and his sense of fun.
How it works
It’s so simple. All participants need to do is dream up a Captain Tom 100 challenge based around the number 100 and do it at any time over Captain Tom’s birthday weekend – starting on Friday 30 April through to Bank Holiday Monday 3 May.
To participate and raise some money for Man&Boy, chose a fun, memorable or challenging activity where you can complete 100 of something between you as a pair in true Man&Boy style "50/50" encouraging one another along the way!
The challenge could be walking 100 steps or running 100 metres, scoring 100 goals, baking 100 cakes, climbing 100 stairs, hopping 100 laps of the garden, building 100 sandcastles, writing a 100-word poem, flipping 100 pancakes – anything at all, inside or out.
Once you have chosen your challenge direct your supporters to:
Captain Tom 100 - Man&Boy 50/50 | Localgiving
to make a donation or if you prefer you can set up and tailor your own here:

and hashtag us in a picture/video that we may share under #captaintom100 #manandboy5050
Every activity big or small will raise vital funds for the 2021 Man&Boy Programme which provides safe, fun relationship-building activities for boys aged 9-12 and a man from within the family referred to Man&Boy to support wellbeing, mutual encouragement, skill-building with the aim of empowering all boys to reach their full potential.
Captain Tom’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, said,
“We are so grateful for the incredible support we have received since my father started his record-breaking fundraising walk and that his message of hope was shared with the world. Captain Tom was very proud to be able to leave behind the growing legacy of his Foundation. We know he would love the idea of inviting everyone to get involved and share their Captain Tom 100 so that together we can ensure ‘Tomorrow will be a good day’. We look forward to celebrating with you on what would have been his 101st birthday weekend – it’s going to be fun!”
Paul Ellis, Man&Boy’s Acting Director explained, “It’s a great time of year to get out in the fresh air and do something with a member of your family or a friend 50/50 and raise some money for Man&Boy along the way, we are glad you are taking part. Thankyou!
