Hall of Famer
Hall of Famer 004
Tom sealed his fate with a three-way sunset handshake at Bingin Beach, the 2024 London Marathon became non-negotiable over cocktails. When race day arrived, Tommy rocked up, lit a cigarette at the starting line and simply gave it the beans, attacking all 42 kilometres like he said he would. A handshake made in board shorts, honoured in running shoes. This is commitment in its purest form. While others were crafting elaborate excuses, Tom was outside crafting his legacy.

Promises were made, hands shook and a year later they were fulfilled"
