This is a link post Captain Tom Moore 100 laps to be awarded BBC's "Sporting Event Of The Year" at BBC's Sports Personality Of The Year 2020 I made this!
I have no connection to Captain Moore or his family - in fact, it was a work colleague that jokingly suggested this should happen - so I thought I'd do something about it, to try and make it actually happen, because I think it's very b3ta (much like boaty mcboat face).

Anyway, I mentioned it on Twitter and BBC's Breakfast Goddess / Legend Naga Munchetty liked the tweet.

So - please sign it and share it. He's 99, he's walked 100 laps of his garden, there is no other sport going on. AND he has raised £18million for NHS charities*


*(if only he could do it every week and make it up to £350m - a little bit of politics, think I got away with it)
Captain Tom Moore 100 laps to be awarded BBC's "Sporting Event Of The Year"



No need to mention what has happened this year, but this sporting event has captured the country like no other. Captain Tom Moore, was aiming to walk a hundred lengths of the back garden (25m in length) before he reached his 100th birthday on the 30th April - and today - he smashed it, finishing two weeks early. So, during these difficult times and with the sporting calendar being "paused" - wouldn't it be great to remember this incredible effort by a determined and inspirational man...

This is a normal post There's a thing going round the facebooks about making the april 30th clap for him
because, you know, there might be one of him living next door. Makes about as much fucking sense as clapping for Boris.

This is a normal post Yeah, dunno why but it feels really smug and self congratulatory.
And yet another tribal thing you can bully your neighbour about if they won't join in. What are you, some sort of communist??

This is a normal post Extroverts aren't doing quite so well with the lockdown and overcompensating?

This is a normal post Socially enforced conformity for good or ill.
At least it seems to be benign there will always be those who take advantage of the opportunity.

People are desperate for something good to celebrate, so this is a great idea.
