Tony’s O2 Climb for Magical Memories

The Tony Hudgell Foundation was created to support vulnerable children affected by physical, emotional, or psychological abuse.

Two years ago, Tony was lucky enough to visit Lapland, and he described it as “the most magical place in the world.” Now, he wants to share that magic with other children who have been through difficult times, just like he has.

This September W/C 22nd date TBC Tony will be embarking on climbing London's iconic 02!

✨ The Mission

This Christmas, we're taking two coachloads of children and their families—all of whom have experienced trauma—on a 3-night, 4-day magical trip to Luosto, Finland, flying from either Manchester or Gatwick. With your help, we can make this dream a reality.

🧗 Tony’s Challenge

After a major operation last year, Tony is now back on his feet—literally—and more determined than ever. His goal?

To climb the O2 in London on his prosthetic legs.

This is no small feat. The climb is tough for anyone—but for Tony, a double amputee, it’s a huge challenge. With the help of his physio team and some intense hill training, Tony is preparing for the climb with all the courage and determination he’s known for.

💙 Why He’s Doing It

Tony’s dream is simple: to raise enough money to give these children a magical break—a chance to meet Santa, play in the snow, and most importantly, enjoy quality time as a family in a place filled with joy, wonder, and healing.

Every donation helps bring a little more magic to children who need it most.

Thank you so much for your support.
