Go Tony! 💙£1m and counting ...
Five-year-old Tony Hudgell from Kent was inspired by the 100-year-old veteran to raise money for the Evelina London Children's Hospital by walking every day in June.
View this post on Instagram This is Tony. He's five years old and has raised more than £1 million for the hospital that saved his life. 👏 He was inspired by Captain Tom Moore, the 100-year-old war veteran who raised more than £32m for NHS charities by walking laps of his garden, and set out to raise £500 by walking 10k. Tony, from Kent, England, had a tough start in life and had both legs removed after abuse by his birth parents.
'This hospital deals with incredibly sick children, and we're so lucky that it's Tony's second home,' said Paula.'He needs ongoing operations as he gets older, so we know that Tony will benefit from this as well as thousands of other children.'
