To take part all you need to do is dream up a challenge, do it 100 times and fundraise for Reach.

Whether it’s baking 100 cakes or doing 100 press-ups, whatever it is, you are invited to do it your way.

The challenges should be completed between Friday, April 30, and Monday, May 3, which would have been Captain Tom’s 101 birthday weekend.

The Captain Tom 100 celebrates Captain Tom’s generosity of spirit, the hope and joy he brought to millions, and his sense of fun.
