Tuesday, 4 May 2021 01:00

Samuel and Hettie's Mum got in touch with us to tell us all about Samuel and Hettie #captaintom100 challenges , raising money for the Captain Tom Foundation on what would have been Captain Sir Tom Moore's 101st birthday weekend.

Samuel age 9 ride for 100 minutes straight on an exercise bike.

And Hettie age 7 went to Macklin Road playpark with a 100 number rock long kindness rock snake, inviting people to take a rock and to rehide elsewhere encouraging them to make a donation as well.

She said .”I'm really proud of them both for thinking up their own challenges and putting their efforts into the fundraising”

If you'd still like a rock, or wish to donate to Samuel and Hettie's fundraising, you can donate directly to the Captain Tom Foundation just giving page here
