Imagine being told at six years old that you'll never play sport again.

Well Anthony Bryan was told just that but he went on to win international gold medals.

And we're going to be speaking to him today. Welcome to TRC Meats where we get incredible running stories that you may never have heard.

You're going for marathon world records, but I want to know if you could go back and talk to your six-year-old self, what would you say to them?

So I was very shy, self-conscious and thought, I didn't have much hope of a life, a future in my life.

Because after my brain tumor, I was wheelchair bound. And I was told, you probably won't walk,

would be very active again. So it'd be good to go back and say to him, don't worry, keep doing

what you're doing because you're doing the right things. And I was lucky

that I had competitive brothers. So I always had to compete against them to help me. I had to push

myself to walk. I had to push myself to run. Otherwise, you can't let your siblings win, really.

Absolutely. And can you just talk to us?

So what happened when you were six and how did that completely change your life?

So I was just your very happy, active, sporty child, always running around, always playing

football, loved football.

I then started to get really bad headaches and became very lethargic.

And I used to curl up inside a ball into a ball and just hold my head because it

was like a screaming inside of my head.

My parents told me to, to me to the doctors and the doctors just thought it's migraine.

So it sent me on my way of a bit of paracetamol.

But as the weeks went on, these headaches got worse.

And after doing a brain scan, they found I had a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball.

And what they found was this brain tumor was shutting down my vital organs.
