Adam King has been nominated for a Lord Mayor of Dublin Youth Award.
The six-year-old became a national hero following his appearance on The Late Late Toy Show last year, melting the nations hearts when he offered host Ryan Tubridy his handmade ‘Hug For U’ heart.
The Cork native, who suffers from Brittle Bones, has since sold thousands of ‘Hug For U’ cards to raise money for charities close to his heart.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin Youth Award recognises children aged between 5 and 18 for their extraordinary work and resilience.
