My story
Embarking on a round the world cycle is a lot easier when you are doing it in memory of an inspirational friend, Tony Young, who died from a brain tumour.
I met Tony when I started working at The King Alfred School in London. He was an IT and CDT teacher that students adored. On school trips around the world he gained the respect of students and teachers alike. He was a witty and unique individual who I got to spend 3 weeks in Senegal with shortly before his terrible diagnosis. Tony was a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, an adventurer, a builder, a fixer, a teacher, a musician, a mountain biker and a great friend to those who knew him.
Throughout the time Tony was in Hospital and during his treatment he bravely maintained his fantastic personality and dignity. Despite his condition, he came into school part time whilst undergoing regular treatment. His method of coping with such a disease was not only testiment to Tony's strength of character but also set an example to the students staff and parents around him of what you can do if you try.
"Tony’s family have agreed that we should take some of Tony with us"
After the London 2012 Olympics Tony’s plan was to sell up and cycle from London back to New Zealand, where he grew up. My close friend Anthony King and I will take the challenging adventure that Tony had intended. Tony’s family have agreed that we should take some of Tony with us. By scattering his ashes in beautiful places along the way we will gain media coverage to raise awareness for Brain Tumour UK and any generous parties that helps us on our way.
There is no time like the present.
