Now the oldest person to top Britain’s main music chart - Moore who turns 100 on April 30 - had previously taken the Guinness World Record title for the most money raised by an individual through a walk.
| Covid-19 charity walk hero Captain Tom Moore became the oldest person to top Britain’s main music chart and also added a world fundraising record to his accolades on Friday, just days shy of his 100th birthday.
As of Friday afternoon, he had collected more than £28.6 million for the National Health Service by completing laps of his garden.The cover version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” that he appears on with singer Michael Ball was on course to be pipped by The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights", until the Canadian star asked his fans on Twitter to support Moore’s record instead.
But he shot past that as media attention from around the globe zoomed in on his home in Bedfordshire, central England.“My charity walk has raised more money than I could have possibly imagined and I am so thankful to those who have donated money for our incredible NHS during these difficult times.”Moore’s fundraising walk broke a 40-year-old record previously held by Canadian athlete Terry Fox.
