Tony Hudgell lost both his legs after suffering abuse from his biological parents as a newborn, which left him on life support at a London children's hospital.
托尼·赫格尔在出生时受到亲生父母的虐待,后来失去了双腿,只能在伦敦一家儿童医院靠维持生命。
He set out to raise £500 for the same hospital by walking throughout June -- but smashed that target almost instantly, raising £1.1 million on his online fundraising page as of Wednesday.
他原本打算在6月份步行为这家医院筹集500英镑,但他几乎立刻就实现了这个目标,截至周三,他在自己的在线筹款页面上已经筹集了110万英镑。
Tony completed his walk on Tuesday in front of a sizable crowd in his hometown of West Malling, southeast England, and celebrated with his adoptive family.
周二,托尼在他的家乡英格兰东南部的西马林,当着一大群人的面走完了全程,并和他的收养家庭一起举行了庆祝。
"It is incredible to think that just a few weeks ago Tony could barely take a few steps. He is such a strong and determined boy and we are so proud," his mother, Paula Hudgell, told the PA Media news agency at the event.
“令人难以置信的是,就在几周前,托尼还几乎没法迈出任何一步。他是一个如此坚强和有决心的孩子,我们为此感到骄傲。”他的养母,宝拉·赫格尔在现场告诉广播媒体公司的记者说。
Tony had only recently learned to walk on crutches but was inspired to complete the challenge after watching "Captain Tom" Moore, the 100-year-old war veteran who became a national celebrity after raising more than $40 million for Britain's National Health Service by doing 100 laps of his back garden, his JustGiving page says.
托尼直到最近才学会用双拐走路,但他一直以来都受到了“汤姆·摩尔船长”的鼓励想要完成这个挑战,汤姆船长是一名一百岁了的退役老兵,他在自家的后花园里跑了100圈筹集到了四千万美金捐给英国医保局而成为了名人,他在自己的慈善主页上记录了此事。
