Aylesbury charity celebrates Captain Sir Tom’s achievements with 100-mile walk

Trustees of Refugee Compassion in Aylesbury will be putting their best foot forward in memory of the late Captain Sir Tom Moore this weekend.

Refugee Compassion, like many other charities, has been hugely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s had a catastrophic effect, with the cancellation of thousands of fundraising events and the loss of billions in income. Captain Tom 100 offers Refugee Compassion the opportunity to raise crucial funds for the charity, while at the same time celebrating Captain Tom’s generosity of spirit, the hope and joy he brought to millions, and his sense of fun. 

Chair of Refugee Compassion, Becky Snaith said: “The Captain Tom 100 Challenge is a great opportunity for Refugee Compassion, since the Covid lockdown we have had most of our fundraising events cancelled this year. We hope this event can help raise vital funds. Over the Bank Holiday weekend, our Trustees will be doing a combined 100-mile walk across Buckinghamshire.”
