Fighting Spirit

The Tony Hudgell Foundation is thrilled to launch its new film, ‘Fighting Spirit’, documenting 8 year old Tony’s inspirational journey to turn a traumatic start in life into hope for hundreds of vulnerable children.

At only 41 days old, Tony suffered a multitude of injuries at the hands of his birth parents. As a result Tony required 8 blood transfusions and 23 operations, including a double amputation at the knees at age 3. In 2021 his adopted parents, Paula and Mark Hudgell set up the Tony Hudgell Foundation to enhance the lives of other child victims of abuse.
