Join with Sidney Walton to Help Nurses Now!

Sidney Walton, 102, one of America's last WWII vets, is on a 50-state, 50-governor tour. He is now dedicating the final 14 states of his tour to Capt. Tom Moore from the UK who raised $46 M for health workers. With your help, Sidney plans to raise $1 more than Moore for frontline nurses in the U.S. 
Sidney launched his No Regrets Tour in 2018, aiming to meet all 50 governors in all 50 states to call attention to the dwindling number of WWII veterans and the sacrifices they made to save America. With 14 states left to visit, Sidney is dedicating all funds raised on the final leg of his Tour to frontline nurses in the pandemic. Inspired by "Captain Tom" in the UK, and in the spirit of friendly competition, he aims to raise "a dollar more than Moore."

In the run-up to his 100th birthday in April 2020, Captain Tom Moore Walked 100 lengths of his garden, hoping to raise $13,000 for the UK's National Health Services in a time of pandemic. He ended up raising $46 million and was knighted by the Queen for his efforts. Sir Thomas Moore died in February 2021 of COVID-19, but donations continue to be made in the spirit of his campaign to the Captain Tom Foundation.

In a country with five times the population of the UK Sidney's goal in the U.S. is to raise simply "$1 more than Moore".

Donating your (unspent) latte money can make a difference!

Every day, I’m inspired by the countless stories of heroism performed by nurses across the United States.  They put themselves in harm’s way so that people who are suffering from this disease can recover and go back home to their families and their lives.

I volunteer at a local hospital and hope to be one of those nurses one day. But as a junior in high school, I still have a few years to go. Nevertheless, I want to help, and I know all of you want to as well. 

Many of our daily routines have changed, including our morning latte runs. Now - Those Lattes can improve Lives. I’m challenging everyone to donate the money you would normally have spent on your morning latte (or every morning's latte since this whole thing started!) to help support and thank our nurses.

100% of all donations will go straight to the American Nurses Foundation and its Coronavirus Response Fund for Nurses .  I especially love that they’re providing grants to nurses who are unable to work because they’re infected with COVID-19 or caring for a family member with COVID-19.  

Your (unspent) latte money can make a difference! Donate today!

As our outdoor track season has been canceled due to COVID-19, members of our fantastic team decided to fundraise for nurses in our country. All money donated will be given to the American Nurses Foundation.  For every ten dollars donated one mile will be run by members of our team. The run will take place around Natick and will be documented and posted.
