This post on behalf of Anika Thompson
Hey Tom,
I thought I would post this on your site to show you the support and love you have from all corners of the world. We ran the Victoria Falls Marathon on the 23rd August 2009 in your honour. We wore red bands as you can see!!

Wearing that red band got me through those last gruelling ten ks of the marathon. Thinking of the strength you’ve shown against the odds made my temporary suffering completely insignificant and motivated me to push through and finish strong. Thinking of you Tom, you are such an inspiration.
