100-year-old British fundraiser Tom Moore (“Captain Tom”) is seriously ill with Covid-19. His daughter announced it on Twitter. His father was taken to the hospital with pneumonia. “He has been home to this day, but needed extra help to breathe,” he wrote.
Moore had raised nearly £ 32.8 million (about 37 million euros) for the NHS national health service in the corona pandemic last year through a donation run with his walker. Queen Elizabeth II made him a knight. In addition, the captain honorary promoted the veteran of World War II to colonel.
Captain Tom, as many still called him, even rose to the top of the charts in Britain with his own version of the football anthem “I’ll Never Walk Alone”. He recorded the song with British singer and actor Michael Ball and an NHS choir.
