Anthony (Tony) McClaren ran the 2008 California International Marathon on behalf of Sacramento Child Advocates, Inc. To create excitement and to symbolize the importance of sports in the lives of all children, Anthony ran the marathon with a rugby ball under his arm in order to raise awareness of rugby in the Sacramento area.  He used nothing but his determination to carry the ball throughout the event.
