A British man runs full marathons with a fridge on his back!

It’s no mean feat to run and complete a marathon, right? Well, a British man going by the name Tony Phoenix-Morrison and nicknamed ‘Tony The Fridge’ takes it even a mile further: the man, a year short of 50, runs the marathon with a refrigerator strapped to his back.



Morrison does this with the intention of capturing everyone’s attention so that he can raise extra funds for his charity projects. Quite an inventive way, don’t you think? He says he was looking for a real challenge and that he ended up with the fridge idea. And grab attention he did since the world was soon talking about the man who runs the marathon carrying a 92-pound fridge on his back.
In fact, Morrison appeared in the news in 17 different countries. He revealed that he has taken into running since he was a little boy since this is the one sure way to escape from his everyday problems. The refrigerator is a physical pain he admits, but he also adds that he had managed to raise lots of funds for the Bobby Robson Foundation which is spearheading a battle against cancer.
