A book about adventure, helping people and never giving up. This is an inspirational book which tells the incredible story of the man who walked 100 laps of his garden and captured the heart of a nation.

At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020 Captain Tom Moore, 99-year-old Second World War veteran, came up with a big idea: he'd walk laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS. By the time the telegram from the Queen arrived, he'd raised over 30 million pounds. From his humble Yorkshire childhood, via the battlefields of Burma and the peaks of the Himalayas, to becoming the NHS and the nation's hero, this is a journey for all of us.
