Actor James Nesbitt has lent his voice to a special thank you video for Captain Tom Moore from the NHS.
The 48 second video poem recited by James Nesbitt and endorsed by NHS Charities Together features the faces behind the NHS, aiming to give Captain Tom Moore’s fundraising page the final boost that it needs to reach his £30 million target.
Thursday marked the 100th birthday of the renowned fundraiser who walked 100 laps of his family’s garden.
He has now raised close to £33 million on his Just Giving page, which will support the incredible work of NHS staff and hospitals across the UK.
In the video, James Nesbitt's reading pays tribute to how the 99-year-old captured the hearts of the nation.
"When our NHS needed us most, one man walked forward with a tale to tell that captured our hearts and we became engrossed," Nesbitt reads on the video message.
"He has brought a people together with drive and determination in our hour of need and most challenging time of separation.
"A war veteran from one front line encouraging each and every one of us to support those fighting this time.
"As he approaches his 100th year and so much in the world gone wrong, we tip our cap to you Captain Tom, a man who has made us all belong."
You can donate to the fundraiser via the JustGiving page here.
