Howdy folks!
I did it ….
360 km’s, 66 hours of running and it’s done. I cannot begin to describe how elated I feel. Thankyou all for your support – I’m off to celebrate now, but when it has all sunk in I will let you all in on the final day, but for now here’s a photo that sums up the Kepler Challenge and The “7 in 7″ …. the best seven days of my life.

Wow. I have been waiting for the news that you made it with bated breath. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you. But it feels pretty good from the cheap seat so you must be flying! And you deserve to be. With all my respect, Tracy

Good on ya fella.
What’s next??
Say Hi to Sal and all the others and pass on our regards to the rest of the team.

Hey Mal, You truly are a legend. We so quickly run out of superlatives so I won’t bother to describe how it feels to have willed you on from the sidelines. What an accomplishment for all the team but especially for you and Sal. Talk about raising the bar for us poor mortal buggers! This one is for the annals of history and nobody will ever be first to do it other than you. Congratulations. It was nail-biting following you on the tracker all week, but just great to be involved too. Denis, Tim and I are so chuffed to have been taxi drivers for you. A gracious passenger you made. Hi to Dimi, hope the editing is a joy.
apparently a wee drop of Talisker/Macallan or Laphraoig helps with the sore limbs… Needs to be single Malt for some reason though- Cheers!
Congratulations! I have to confess I had my doubts when you pulled a muscle only a couple of weeks before the start. I am thrilled you dispelled them. This was indeed a mighty feat. We think you are a true legend Mal. Very best wishes!

My mum has just finished her treatment for Luekemia so I understand what a difference your money will make in peoples lives. Your awesome and well done

Well done Mal, you made it to that Kepler finish line! What a feeling that must have been! What you have achieved really is extraordinary. You have helped and inspired many people already and I know your efforts will continue to make a difference for a long time to come.
