Tony taking a break during the run.
Tony Mixon, a long time NF Endurance team member, has undertaken the run of his lifetime. He is close to finishing a 360 mile run from Jacksonville Beach to Miami Beach! Tony shared this about his own journey with NF via the Facebook page dedicated to his run.
“… My first symptoms/problems began in 1988. I suffered from extreme headaches and dizziness. Upon visiting many doctors and undergoing numerous tests it was determined that I had a very large brain tumor. After 2 surgeries the majority… of the tumor was removed but not without collateral damage. I was left with facial paralysis and deaf on the right side. However, with support of my families and wonderful wife life got back to somewhat normal. I was unaware that what I had was considered neurofibromatosis type 2 or NF2. I later would undergo more brain tumor surgeries as well and spinal cord tumor surgeries, the latest being in August of 2009.”
Tony is running to raise money for a cure and to raise awareness for NF before the disorder makes it impossible for him to run. He has a little over 50 miles left on his journey and is projected to finish mid-day Tuesday at Indian Beach Park in Miami Beach. Tony’s support crew is asking for as many people as possible in the Miami Beach area to join them as they cheer him to the finish. You can track Tony’s progress at http://bit.ly/TrackTony.
On behalf of all of the Children’s Tumor Foundation staff, the NF Endurance team staff would like to thank Tony for his dedication to finding a cure. Passionate people like tony are the ones driving us closer to a cure for NF every day.
