My mum recently passed away at the age of 89. She was very proud of Tony the way he composed himself with great strength using his prosthetic limbs. Mum was right leg amputatee using prosthetic limb. She lost her leg 36 years due to gangrene. We as family wish Tony all the best in life. Very proud of him. God bless his carers. Love From to the Patel family

Summit's Up For Tony
Event date: 8th August 2023
Summit's Up For Tony are raising money for Bendrigg Trust, Crohn's and Colitis UK, Tony Hudgell Foundation and Lake District Foundation
Our story
In 2020, aged just 5, Tony Hudgell decided to try and raise £509 for the Evelina Children's Hospital by walking 10km on his prosthetic legs. The Evelina Children's Hospital had saved Tony when he was brought in aged just six-weeks' old. Tony had severe injuries inflicted by his birth parents which resulted in multiple fractures, dislocations and eventually led to both Tony's legs being amputated. Tony's challenge captured hearts and minds and he smashed his fundraising target - raising over £1.3 million for the hospital in the process.
Fast-forward three years and Tony wants to undertake another challenge - this time an Everest-inspired challenge to summit Orrest Head in the Lake District. Orrest Head if the first fell that Alfred Wainwright summitted on his very first visit to the Lake District in 1930 and so it is fitting that it will also be Tony's first. Wainwright remarked, "Orrest Head cast a spell that changed my life. It was a moment of magic, a revelation so unexpected that I stood transfixed, unable to believe my eyes". We hope it will be the same for Tony!
Like his original challenge during the pandemic, Tony has set himself a target of £509 (a typo by mum Paula is suspected to be the cause of the odd number rather than a round £500!) although he hopes he can raise vastly more than this.
Once again Tony wants to raise vital funds for charities and so he has chosen to split his fundraising equally between four charities:
- The Tony Hudgell Foundation
- Bendrigg Trust
- Crohn's & Colitis UK
- Fix the Fells - The Lake District Foundation
Please donate today and show your support for Tony
