Thank you Captain Tom!
Now we just need the money to go towards something useful rather than disappearing into the void or into the pockets of the wrong people.

"More than £20m raised by Captain Tom Moore has been handed out to NHS charities across the country.
Each charity has been given £35,000 from the £32.8m fund and a second grant based on the size of the trust they serve, said NHS Charities Together.
The charity at the hospital where Capt Tom was treated for a broken hip and skin cancer received £122,500.
NHS Charities Together said the donations were "already having a huge impact and will continue to do so"."
