The picture shows Tony Hudgell from Kent. Tony had both legs amputated as a baby and finds walking difficult. He was inspired by Captain Tom Moore who raised money for the NHS at the start of lock down. Tony Hudgell wanted to raise £500 for a Children’s hospital in London and set himself a target of walking 10 km in a month by walking 300m every day. Last Saturday Tony walked 800m instead of 300m and by last Monday he was up to 8.3 km. He is hopeful to go over his 10km target. Tony has raised well over £500; he has already raised over £1 million!

Tony’s Mum says he started the project to help him walk and his walking has improved a lot, she says last week he even ran!
