Coronavirus: Capt Tom Moore inspires 91-year-old's walk for NHS

Inspired by Captain Tom Moore's remarkable fundraising feat, Rhythwyn Evans is also putting his best foot - and walking stick - forward for a good cause.

The former farmer aims to mark his 91st birthday on Saturday by walking 91 times around his bungalow on Tan-y-Graig Farm, Silian, Ceredigion, to raise money for his local health board.

Rhythwyn is self-isolating with his wife Gwyneth, though neither have any coronavirus symptoms.

"I've lived to a ripe old age so now I want to give something back to the area I have always lived," he said.

He has already passed his target of raising £3,000.
