The father of Toy Show star Adam King has said their family is blown away by the impact the Cork youngster has had on people.
The six-year-old won the hearts of the nation when he appeared on the Toy Show last year.
Adam and dad David appeared on Friday’s Late Late Show with other returning Toy Show stars.
David said: “Our family has just been completely blown away and touched by how much people have been impacted by Adam and his message.
In November, viewers were inspired to donate by special guests Saoirse Ruane and Adam King.
Half of the proceeds will be shared among Barnardos Ireland, Children’s Health Foundation and Children’s Books Ireland.
The rest will be made available for children’s charities in an open call for grants which will be managed by The Community Foundation for Ireland and Community Foundation Northern Ireland.
On last night’s Late Late Show, Adam King talked about his zoom call with astronaut Chris Hadfield.
Adam also said he hopes technology will eventually be able to help him on his dream to go to space.
