Story
Tony says "I started running marathons and half marathons in 2002
following a life threatening injury I sustained in Las Vegas in 2001
following an accident in Las Vegas where I was hit by a hit and run
driver. I broke my C1 vertebra in my neck in 4 places. I also fractured
my skull and had two brain haemorrhages, I had many more injuries but
too many to mention. "
"I have run for many charities in the past
raising over £35000 for various children and children’s charities. Pete
Stephenson was my inspiration for Benevolent Fund, having been a former
professional Rugby League player for Hull FC and amateur with West Hull
and Skirlaugh myself. I really enjoyed doing Belfast Marathon in aid
of Benevolent Fund and have other plans for same charity."
