So sorry to hear you have not completed your run. Serious congrats for what you have achieved. Not many people would even start let alone finish. Best wishes for a speedy recovery from us at the office, especially the frontline girls and Gill.

Hi there, you don't know me but I always follow the kiwi's. I have been there and done that and can know that this is hard yakka. Keep going, slowly but surely, bit by bit, check point by check point. Believe it or not sometimes it gets easier . sending you some kiwi spirit dude. Say hi to Sam and the RTP guys for me cheers and rock on mate Megan

Glad to hear you're still in one piece! Best of luck for tomorrow. The plants are watered and gran has asked me to check on you if possible and send her regards. Keep going dad - you didn't go all that way to do half a race! I'm looking forward to the phone call after when you tell me 'never again'. And then I'm looking forward to seeing you in AKL when you say 'you know, next time...' Take care!
