Do it your way!

Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce that we are taking part in the #captaintom100 challenge to celebrate his amazing achievements whilst raising much needed funds for Friends for Leisure. Will you join us?

What does it involve?

By teaming up with Captain Tom Moore’s family to do the ‘100 Challenge’ with the catchphrase ‘Do it your way’, the challenge is focused on the theme of 100.

The number 100 is being used to represent Tom’s age, and the event (which can be done before/after, this doesn’t really matter) is focused around the long bank holiday weekend of 30th April-3rd May as that weekend would have been Captain Tom’s 101st birthday.


Looking for ideas?

-Maybe pledge to walk/cycle/swim 100 miles over a period of time with your family

-Play 100 games of connect 4!

-Make 100 of your favourite crafts

-Or how about a 100 hour sponsored silence?!

 

We have a dedicated event page for Friends for Leisure which is where people can make donations or set up their own fundraising page and find out more- https://captaintom100.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/captaintom100/getinvolved.jsp?charityResourceId=6d9dffad-1f34-4de6-9f2c-c1839491fcdc

How will you do it your way?

  • I have managed to get a job that I love – putting that I volunteered on my CV and talking a lot about it in interview definitely helped!
