Tony “the fridge” Phoenix-Morrison, from Hebburn, Tyne and Wear, will take on one final gruelling test by running from John O’Groats to Land’s End while carrying his 42kg (93lb) Smeg fridge. The 1,053 mile challenge, starting on August 3, will see Mr Phoenix-Morrison run 40 marathons in 40 consecutive days as he aims to raise money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
