For Anthony Tucker, this weekend's TCS New York City Marathon is more than just race. It's an opportunity to encourage others with his inspirational story.
Michelle Charlesworth has the story.Raised in a single parent household in East Harlem, Tucker dreamed of becoming a professional drug dealer.A high school dropout, the New Yorker's world came crashing down at 20 after a dirt bike accident nearly left him unable to walk again.Sometimes in life, all it takes is a second chance. For Tucker, that opportunity turned his life around - going from becoming a teacher to now assistant principal to young students in the South Bronx.
He's new to running, taking to it amid the 2020 pandemic and George Floyd protests as a way to exhaust his frustrations as the world seemed to be in disarray. This year's TCS NYC Marathon will be his first. Tucker is using this year's run to provide those kids with a bit of motivation, ensuring that second chances are indeed possible.
