Help Tony Raise funds for The Brian Injury Community

Hi everyone,

My name is Tony, I'm 57 years old and my favourite things in life are the NRL West Tigers, painting, a good coffee and my family.

In 2021, I was diagnosed with Cerebellum Ataxia. Cerebellum ataxia is a brain disease and is roughly defined as ‘poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements. Ataxia may cause difficulty with walking and balance, hand coordination, speech, swallowing, and eye movements.’

I have had this disease since birth but it did not surface till later in life due to my active lifestyle and love of sport.

I will be competing in the Moggil Marathon on Sunday 18th May 2024.

The reason I want to complete this marathon is for self improvement. To keep my arms and core strong and slow the progress of the ataxia. The other reason I want to complete this marathon is to help raise money for The Brian Injury Community Inc.

The Brain Injury Community Inc. (TBIC) is a not-for-profit organisation, that provides a range of community engagement activities, support services and peer mentoring for people who have been impacted by brain injury and disability. https://thebraininjurycommunity.org.au/

Any donation small or large is appreciated. Please help support me in raising funds for The Brain Injury Community to make a difference to people living with a brain injury, families and support network.

Thank you

Tony Collins
