We’re inviting you to take part in Captain Tom 100 from Friday 30 April to Bank Holiday to celebrate Captain Sir Tom Moore and raise vital funds for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund continued to support the thousands living with congenital heart disease in our region. CHD didn’t stop for COVID-19 and neither did we. Inspired by the incredible achievements of Captain Sir Tom Moore, the Captain Tom 100 gives everyone the chance to raise funds for CHSF www.captaintom100.justgiving.com
Everyone – of all ages and abilities – is invited to take on a challenge around the number 100, any time and anywhere over Captain Tom’s birthday weekend, starting on Friday 30 April through to Bank Holiday Monday 3 May. All you need to do is dream up your Captain Tom 100 and get started! It could be walking 100 steps or running 100 metres, baking 100 cakes, hopping 100 laps of the garden, writing a 100-word poem – or simply donating 100 pennies! It’s your chance to do it your way and help to raise vital funds for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund at the same time. See loads of 100 fundraising inspiration here.
Create a page for your challenge and let everyone know how you’ll be fundraising. It’s easy to fundraise or donate to CHSF as part of the Captain Tom 100. To get involved, you can set up a fundraising page for your challenge or make a donation to CHSF by clicking here.
Once you’re ready to do your Captain Tom 100, inspire your friends and family to donate by sharing photos or videos on social media. Tag your friends and challenge them to join in too! Remember to use the official hashtag #CaptainTom100. Don’t forget to tag Children’s Heart Surgery Fund in too – so all your family and friends know why you are taking on your Captain Tom 100 challenge.
And remember, if you have a fundraising page be sure to promote it via your emails, personal messages, and social media posts too! For more ideas and information, please click here to visit our page on The Captain Tom 100 website.
Our vision is to support hearts for life and our mission is to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit in becoming a world class centre of excellence – by providing the funding and resources needed to care for a patient’s heart, mind, family and future.
We provide life-saving medical equipment for the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, parent accommodation for families and vital ward resources. We also fund staff training, scientific research and new clinical roles. Our board of trustees meets regularly to review major requests for funding, and the board includes pioneering medical experts from the Heart Unit.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’ve been able to approve funding for projects totalling millions of pounds in recent years. From funding cutting edge equipment to paying for the fish tank on the ward, we’re always on the lookout for ways we can help improve the lives of our heart patients www.chsf.org.uk/donate
