Sunday July 27th 2014, Tony Burns will be "Bringing It Home for the
Kids" in another Ultramarathon (100km), this time in Darwin - all to raise
much needed funds for Local Darwin Schools & Families.
With
support from Amy Brady and friends on the day, Tony has no doubt that he will
succeed in this journey, doing it all while promoting the "John Maclean Foundation (JMF)". JMF
