Captain Tom Moore: How will coronavirus fundraising be spent?
The moment Captain Tom Moore completed his 100th lap
Having recently been treated for a broken hip and skin cancer, Capt Tom was inspired to walk the 2.5km around his home garden with the aid of a frame to raise money for NHS Charities Together. Many of the funds donated to NHS Charities Together are then disseminated to charities to use at a local level - and that's where the kind of money raised by Capt Tom will be spent.
The money has also helped pay for electronic tablets that allow patients who are in isolation in hospital to have contact with their friends and family. His current total is the largest raised in a single campaign on the site, and the company itself has become one of more than 900,000 donors, giving £100,000.
In a statement a spokeswoman said:"This model provides donors with choice and transparency, as well as allowing JustGiving to maintain the technology that keeps our site running 24/7, provide top-notch customer service and give everyone the best experience on JustGiving."
