A boy who lost both of his legs because of abuse and raised £1.8 million through fundraising is off to Lapland to meet Santa.He said he can’t wait to get into the festive spirit by meeting elves, reindeer and of course searching for Santa in the snow-covered forests.‘I’m looking forward to seeing the reindeer too.’
He’s been hailed as a hero by Prince William and Kate Middleton over his fundraising walks to help vulnerable children, and received a touching letter from the princess. He was rushed to hospital in 2014 when he was just 41 days old after abuse by his biological parents Jody Simpson and Tony Smith.Both have mounted a legal challenge after justice secretary Dominic Raab intervened in a bid to keep them behind bars.And so is Tony Smith, who was sentenced to 10 years in jail
His adoptive family has successfully campaigned for longer sentences for anyone who seriously harms a child, called Tony’s Law, and are now calling for a register of abusers.
