100 tuổi, đi bộ quanh nhà làm từ thiện | Tân Thế Kỷ

100 years old, walking around the house doing charity work. This is an ex-soldier from World War II. At the age of 100, he has walked hundreds of miles around his garden to donate charity money every day, regardless of the rain. He is Harold Jones, and he has to travel by three-wheeler. But every day, this ex-soldier still walks around his garden an average of 30 times, regardless of the weather conditions. He has done so since 2020, after being inspired by media stories around the world in the early days of the COVID pandemic. Harold Jones used to be a sergeant. He used to know about the admirable work of an ex-sergeant with the Grand Marshal. This Grand Marshal used his old age to donate money to help others and be known by the world as Captain Tom. Grand Marshal Thomas Moore is known by the name of Captain Tom, a British army sergeant and a famous fund-raiser. In the morning of his birthday, the 100th Captain Tom donated more than 30 million pounds of British pounds by walking. The 100th birthday of Captain Tom is marked by the flights of the Royal Air Force and the British Army and was honoured at the Windsor Memorial. Tom's actions have inspired many other senior soldiers, including Jones. Sergeant Jones is now the grandfather of six children, and he began walking around his wooden house during the lockdown to donate money to people in need of COVID, like the admirable actions he once knew and admired. To date, this 100-year-old man has been walking around his house for more than 4 years. He has walked a total of more than 661 steps, which is more than 1,000 km and equivalent to 41,550 rounds around the garden. This is also an equivalent distance from his home in Birmingham to the German border. The 100-year-old ex-soldier said he knew that during the pandemic, people had to face a lot of difficulties and wanted to use their remaining strength to do something. He always called himself Sergeant Harold. John Harold served in the British Army from 1942 to 1947. He was the first soldier in India and then in the Second World War in Burma as a non-commissioned officer. He started donating and since then has donated more than 43,000 English copies in less than four years. Although he is 100 years old, he still has a bright mind. He said that the secret to having such a long physical strength was that during his time in the army, he helped him to train in a high level. He shared that walking has become his daily job. He said that at first he only set a goal of 1,000 English copies, and then he reached 10,000 copies and the money increased rapidly. With his unceasing effort, John earned a large amount of money to help those in need. He was awarded a prize by the Prime Minister for his brave efforts. Of course, what John does is not to praise. John always thought of himself as a soldier, so his job was to serve society. Not to mention, John said that walking helped him get better before the pandemic. Previously, he had a back injury in three places, but he said that everything with him is still perfect now. John still walks after breakfast, no matter the weather. John always talks about his admiration for his superiors. John saw that his teammates died of old age diseases, and he knew that one day he would be like that too. Even the superiors that John admired now have also died of COVID diseases. And until just a few days ago, John did not stop walking around the house to honor his superiors and to make the last days of his life really meaningful.
