Going great lengths in Sutton Coldfield
Available for over a year
100 year-old Lance Corporal Harold Jones from Sutton was inspired by Captain Tom and started walking laps of his garden in March 2020. He's since done more than 40-thousand laps and raised over £40,000 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. And he does it using his late wife's tricycle - after breaking his back in three place and having it cemented in place. He's even been honoured by the Prime Minister with a Points of Light award - which recognises outstanding individuals making a change in their community.
