Anthony Bennett is an inspirational and motivational speaker and fundraiser who learned how to walk and talk again after contracting three virus infections at the same time.
In 2006, after returning from a school trip 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 10% chance of survival after contracting three viral infections - Streph-Pneumonia, Influenza, and Staphylococcus.
After making a full recovery, Anthony played a major role in winning a £7.5 million charity partnership between Whitbread PLC and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, where he spent four years traveling the UK and inspiring teams to get involved in raising the much-needed funds for the charity's. 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.
Now an international speaker, Anthony inspires audiences globally.
