<p>Running a half-marathon is a pretty big challenge for most people. Running the race with a fridge strapped to your back? It doesn&#8217;t even seem possible. But Tony Phoenix-Morrison has completed the feat 30 times.</p>
<p>Phoenix-Morrison, who earned the nickname Tony The Fridge, completed his 30th half marathon with a fridge strapped to his back last weekend.</p>
<p>According to <a title="travelers today" href="http://www.travelerstoday.com/articles/3115/20120921/man-runs-30-half-marathons-fridge-strapped.htm"><em>Travelers Today</em></a>, Morrison, 48, ran the Great North Run from Newcastle, UK to South Shields 30 times in 30 days. He covered a distance of over 390 miles and did it all with a fridge strapped to his back.</p>
<p>So Why? Why would anyone run a marathon with a fridge on their back?</p>
<p>Morrison completed his amazing feat in order to raise money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, a charity organization that raises money for cancer research. Morison, who drilled a hole in the fridge for people to donate money, raised over £9,000 (about $15000) for the organization. (<a title="just giving" href="http://www.justgiving.com/tonythefridge">You can donate to the fridge marathon man here</a>.)</p>
<p>Tony the Fridge said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;People have been amazing. Every step has been cheered all the way along the run. I&#8217;m feeling honoured to be able to carry out this challenge. It represents the daily struggle people with cancer have, and the struggle to fight cancer.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Morrison is running one last marathon on Monday. He won&#8217;t, however, be carrying his fridge. Instead, Morrison will be dressed in honor of Brendan Foster the runner who founded the Great North Run from Newcastle, UK to South Shields.</p>
<p>Morrison said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He created this most fantastic occasion, which is like nothing else in the world. Millions and millions of pounds have been raised for charity, a huge amount of people have got fitter because of it, it&#8217;s benefited the local economy and enhanced the reputation of the north-east for bring friendly. Brendan is my childhood hero, so to see him waiting for me at the end &#8211; top that. I am truly humbled and blessed to have completed the challenge because people wanted me to do it. I had some bad days but along the line there were a couple of rainbows.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
