On 12 August 2025, we lost our beloved brother Tony to a ruptured brain aneurysm. His passing was sudden and without warning, leaving a huge hole in our hearts and in the lives of his wife, children, family, and friends. To honour his memory, we are running a half marathon together as Run for Tony. Our goal is to raise awareness of brain aneurysms and fund vital research through the Brain Foundation. Every donation helps support life-saving research, early detection, and treatment so that fewer families face this heartbreak. Thank you for supporting us and remembering Tony.

Thank you for supporting and donating to Run for Tony. All 54 of us runners and walkers finished what we aimed to achieve. It was such a special day, and every single step was for our gorgeous brother, To Trieu.

It’s the home stretch for Run for Tony! Our team has been training hard and we’re nearly ready to hit the start line next Sunday! But what’s truly amazing is the community that has surrounded us with so much love and support throughout this journey. We were honoured to be featured on the front page of The Canberra Times — such a beautiful article that captured Tony’s story and the heart behind this campaign. I know To would be so proud. Our Run for Tony shirts have also arrived, thanks to our generous sponsors! Not only do our runners and walkers have their shirts, but so do the kids in our support team. Seeing everyone wear them together will be such a special moment on race day. Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Your kindness and generosity are helping the Brain Foundation fund more vital research into brain aneurysms, so that other families won’t have to go through what ours did. Please keep sharing our story and spreading the word. Every step we take is for Tony.

Thank you, thank you! We have reached our target of $3000! Our team is getting larger by the day. We have 15 people registered to run (Half marathon, 10K, and 5K). We are so proud to see everyone been training hard, getting ready for race day. We also have Agile Digital and Calleo sponsoring us. They will cover the cost for running singlets, t-shirts for the support crew, and community BBQ on race day. Please spread the words and share this on your social media so that we can raise as much money as possible for Brain Foundation. Thank you so much for supporting Run for Tony.
