There are many ways to celebrate a big milestone
“They all deserve a good pat on the back because they’re all working so hard, and they continue to work hard and putting themselves into mortal danger day after day,” Moore said in an interview with CBS. The donations went to the NHS and helped support health care workers in the U.K. struggling to handle the COVID-19 pandemic. Moore’s good deed made him a household name. When it came time to celebrate his 100th birthday, the world celebrated with him. Two WWII fighter planes flew over Moore’s home to mark his birthday, and Moore received over 125,000 birthday cards, including one from Queen Elizabeth II herself. For his actions, Moore was even made an honorary colonel. By raising much-needed donations to help health care workers, Moore gave people around the world a little hope in difficult times. He reminded us that, no matter our age, we have the power to make a difference and there is hope for tomorrow.

approached his 100th birthday in April 2020, he decided to give back and raise
money for the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS). Moore, a resident of Bedfordshire, England, wanted to thank the NHS for a new hip he’d recently received. The 99-year-old veteran vowed to walk 100 laps of his garden, 10 each day, leading up to his 100th birthday. Moore’s community in Bedfordshire pitched in pledges and quickly helped him reach his original goal of £1,000 (around $1,200). Then, when the local news picked up Moore’s story, word of his mission spread. Soon donations were pouring in from around the world. By his 100th lap, Moore raised over $37 million. He said he was “overwhelmed” by the money he raised for the NHS. SUDOKU
“One day the clouds will roll by and we’ll all be very happy people again,” said Moore. “It will happen.”
