Marc Ellis joins the Challenge

This morning we held the official media launch for this year’s 7in7 Challenge and revealed the identity of the ‘celeb’ runner who is kindly giving up his time, and risking his knackered knees, to help the cause. Big ups to Marc Ellis, former All Black and now popular TV figure, who is quoted as saying “who is this dick Malcolm Law?”….. actually he didn’t say that at all, what he actually said was “It is hard not to get inspired by the cause and the people involved. It would be both a fantastic and fitting result if Mal and his team were able to raise their target of $150k for the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation”.

The big fella is also helping us out by playing the role of auctioneer at our pre-Day 1 charity auction in Wanaka, more details of which will be announced shortly.

Thanks Marc, I look forward to running with you in Wanaka and maybe (just maybe) sharing a well-earned beer afterwards.
