Charitable Travel Fund is supporting the Captain Tom 100

The fund, run by social enterprise agency Charitable Travel, wants people to take on a “100” challenge.

Melissa Tilling, the fund’s founder and trustee, said: “The Charitable Travel Fund charity are excited to take part in the Captain Tom 100, with a #savetravel twist, by encouraging supporters to run, walk, swim, hop, ride a distance 100 times the height of your favourite tourism landmark."

She added challenges could be “anything at all, inside or outside”, such as “100 steps, 100 goals or baking 100 cakes”.

Fundraising will support people and destinations who have suffered due to the lack of tourism.
