FIGHTING FOR LIFE:
In 2006, after returning from a trip with students to Disneyland Paris, Anthony fell extremely ill and was left fighting for his life. The cause was narrowed down to the air conditioning within the coach and affected 80% of students on the trip but left Anthony with only 10% chance of survival after contracting 3 viral infections – Strep-Pneumonia, Influenza, and Staphylococcus
- His white blood cells reduced to zero
- He suffered from a seizure whilst in a coma
- He was resuscitated and brought back to life an amazing 12 times
He relearnt how to walk, talk, and breathe again after spending 3 weeks on an Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machine
REBUILDING HIS LIFE:
After making a full recovery, Anthony played a major role in winning a £7.5m Charity Partnership between Whitbread PLC and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, where he spent 4 years travelling the UK and Inspiring teams to get involved in raising the much-needed funds for the children’s charity. The money raised went towards the construction of a brand new cardiac hospital wing, helping at the children’s hospital to treat up to 20% more children.
He went on the be named one of the happiest people in the UK in the Independent on Sunday’s 2015 Happy List, a programme recognised by the Prime Minister for his efforts in enriching the lives of others, making Britain a better place.
