At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in early April 2020 Captain Tom, a ninety-nine-year-old Second World War Veteran, came up with a big idea: he'd walk laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS. Despite using a walking frame as well as having undergone recent treatment for cancer and a broken hip, he was determined to hit £1000 by his 100th birthday on 30th April.
By the time his 100th birthday telegram from the Queen arrived, he'd raised over thirty million pounds. His efforts were celebrated around the world. The Duke of Cambridge, hailed him as a "one-man fundraising machine," whilst Prince Harry described him as "utterly amazing".
We were honoured and privileged to be Captain Sir Tom’s Literary, TV and Film agency and enable him to bring his story to life in words, along with engaging and inspirational TV interviews, documentaries and a fascinating film of his life which will be on the big screen – date to be announced.
Captain Tom’s official autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day was published in September 2020 and within a week, Captain Tom broke the record for being the oldest author to be a Number 1 Sunday Times Bestseller. It tells of his long and dramatic life. How his spirit was forged on the battlefields of Burma where victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat. How he fearlessly raced motorbikes competitively. How, in his nineties, he took off for the Himalayas and Everest, simply because he’d never been. And, finally, how this old soldier came to do his bit for the NHS, becoming the nation’s hero in our darkest hour. In October 2020 his children’s book, One Hundred Steps, was published and tells a story about adventure, helping people and never giving up. Fully illustrated for younger readers, and following the key moments from Captain Tom’s incredible life, the book shows what is possible when we come together and never, ever give up.
Both his books support his charity 'The Captain Tom Foundation' which will continue to do his good work as well as inspiring a new generation of Captain Toms, and we are proud to have helped enabled him to create a literary legacy that we know he was extremely proud of.
Thank you Captain Tom for your inspiration, smile, wit and wisdom wrapped up in the kindest of hearts. Our love and thoughts are with the family at this sad time as we honour Captain Tom’s legacy by holding hope in our hearts that "Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day".
