A 100-year-old veteran who raised tens of millions of dollars for the National Health Service during the coronavirus pandemic will be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

Tom Moore, a World War II veteran, raised nearly $40 million for the United Kingdom’s medical system by doing a charity walk to honor his 100th birthday in April. Moore walked the length of his 82-foot garden 100 times. His effort caught global attention, and he shattered his goal of raising £1,000, roughly $1,250, by earning tens of millions.
