Tony Tsunami Fund

You have to make a splash before you make a wave! That’s the core idea behind the Tony Tsunami fund and the Tony Tsunami DARE. Tony Forte is an energetic 10 yr. old boy who has been courageously battling a rare medical condition called Hirschsprung’s Disease, which has left him in need of a nearly 2 million dollar multiple organ transplant surgery.

One splash gets you wet. Many make a wave. A nation creates a TSUNAMI. This tsunami is one of change for a boy who has to wear a backpack to stay alive. The backpack you see him wearing in every picture is his life support. We’re daring everyone who’s able to bellyflop into a pool to raise awareness of Tony’s situation and if able, make a small donation, so in a short time we can watch Tony be free of his life support and swim for the first time like he’s always dreamed he’d be able to do one day.

If you count yourself among the brave who are taking the Tony Tsunami DARE, be sure to tweet us @TonyTsunamiDARE  and tag your video using the hashtag #TonyTsunami.
