Tony Hudgell.

Goldfinch60



What a boy!

Only eight years old,

Both legs amputated

After being abused as a baby,

Yet he came through,

His foster parents saved him,

And he saved himself

And created a new world,

A world of climbing and heroism.

He reached his first summit

The summit of Orrest Head,

A fell overlooking the Lake District.

So many people were there

Cheering him on

As he climbed into his life

That will now be so wonderful

And lead him to the great heights,

The great heights to come,

To come in his life.

Well done Tony,

Tony Hudgell.
