99yr Old Raising Money For Charity

Inspired by Capt. Sir Tom Moore — the British war veteran who raised money for health-care workers in the early days of the pandemic by walking laps in his garden — Orpha Thrasher figured, “if I’m walking every day, I might as well be walking to help somebody.”

So far, she’s raised more than $4,000, with more than three months left until her February birthday.

 “Orpha is a little dynamo,” said Jaya James, the charity’s executive director, who hopes Thrasher’s project inspires other people to get outside and get active.
