Tony's story is one of resilience and courage. After surviving horrific abuse by his birth parents, resulting in the amputation of both legs, Tony turned his pain into purpose, raising almost £2million for the Evelina Children's Hospital. His adoptive mum, Paula, shared their story of disappointment on X (formerly Twitter), which caught the Royal Family's attention, leading to an invitation that would make history.
