Tommy Little, reportedly Carrie Bickmore's significant other, becomes unwell during a charity run in South Africa; he is given an IV drip. Videos surface showing him vomiting near a tree.
Tommy, the brash radio humorist, participated in the Big Five Marathon in South Africa last weekend, all in the name of charity. His chosen cause? None other than Carrie Bickmore's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer, a noble initiative against a formidable foe.
Now, let's get real: the marathon was no walk in the park, but Tommy doesn't back down easily. After crossing the finish line of the grueling 42.195km race, the man admitted to busting a calf muscle and even 'spewing' post-run. But hey, it was all worth it.
Resilient as ever, Tommy shared his victory on Instagram, vowing to recover before posting more exciting content. "I may have busted a calf muscle and spewed to the point of needing an IV drip, but I came in 22nd place, and all I needed to do was that to achieve this," he boasted. Clearly, the donations for Carrie's charity were the driving force that kept him going when he nearly called it quits just 3km into the race.
Tommy wasn't alone in his struggle. Carrie and several other celebrities joined him in the marathon, including Sam Wood, Olivia Molly Rogers, Merrick Watts, Ned Brockman, Ellidy Pullin, Laura Enever, and Trent Cotchin.
Before the race, Carrie shared a heart-wrenching letter from a mother fighting brain cancer on social media. The letter, a stark reminder of why they were there, moved Carrie to tears and renewed her commitment to the cause. As Carrie and the other celebrities tackled the formidable marathon course, they carried the spirit of that brave mother with them.
Carrie's charity, Beanies 4 Brain Cancer, represents hope in the face of adversity. Driven by her personal experience losing her husband, Greg Lange, to brain cancer in 2010, Carrie started the charity to raise funds for brain cancer research. Since its public launch in 2015, the charity has raised nearly $25 million, supporting vital research facilities and driving progress in brain cancer research. Each year, a new beanie design is released, with all proceeds going straight to research.
As the charity pushes forward, Carrie continues to engage high-profile figures and the public in major fundraising activities. This year's endeavor, the Big Five Marathon, is just one more step in Carrie's mission to make a difference. While not all participating celebrities are named, it's clear that Tommy is among them, joining forces with Carrie in her unwavering commitment to combat brain cancer.
Brain cancer is a formidable adversary, but with everyone's support, together we can make a difference. If you're moved to join Carrie and Tommy in their battle against brain cancer, consider donating to Beanies 4 Brain Cancer. Every dollar makes a difference in the fight against this life-threatening disease. So, whack on a beanie and join the movement for a brighter future! ❤️
