Do you want to help celebrate Bedford NHS fundraiser's 100th birthday?

As Captain Tom Moore's amazing fundraising efforts to help the NHS has captured the public's attention, Marston Moretaine Post Office is offering its services to the public ahead of his 100th birthday.

Captain Tom and the post office thought it would be a good idea to set up an address for cards to be sent in time for his special day on April 30.

Postmaster Bill Chandi, who is also a councillor, said: "Captain Tom is a remarkable man - a role model. He is a real gentleman and they don’t make models like him anymore. My post office is at the heart of the Marston Moretaine community and I am delighted to be accepting 100th birthday cards on behalf of this community’s most famous resident.”

And Mr Chandi, who has been a postmaster at Marston for 32 years, is bracing himself for a deluge of mail for Captain Tom. He says there is no shortage of space even if a mountain of birthday cards arrive.

Bedford Today first revealed Captain Tom's challenge to raise cash for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.Despite only expecting to raise £1,000, his story caught the public's imagination - attracting TV coverage - and so far he's raised more than £18million.

Birthday cards can be sent to for Captain Tom Moore c/o Marston Moretaine Post Office, 67 Bedford Road, Marston Mortaine, Bedford, MK43 0LA.
