Newbury Quaker centenarian Ruth Saunders, inspired by Tom Moore who famously raised £32 million for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his patio in the days leading up to his 100th birthday, has gone one further by completing the final lap of her marathon. She walked the final two laps at Newbury Racecourse on 4 November where she was filmed and photographed. Her story has appeared in the press throughout the country.
