Runner : Ido Drent

Age: 24
Weight: 78kg
Height: 178cm
Nationality: South African

I never quite imagined I would ever find myself preparing for a 270km run. However, in a moment of madness I agreed to be part of the Many Miles for Mary team for 2011. Although I have always enjoyed playing sports in my spare time, the thought of running for extended periods of time, never really appealed to me. Infact, I’ve never run more than 13km in my life!

However when Jamie told me his story and what this run is about, I couldn’t help being drawn to what they have set out to do. I felt compelled to join them on this journey. We have an opportunity to do something spectacular for Ronald McDonald house, while discovering new depths of ourselves.

I am passionate about life in its full abundance, for me and for those around me, and I have desire to live with a limitless attitude, so in light of that, I find myself welcoming this challenge with anticipation and excitement.

Will it hurt. Absolutely. Will it almost kill me. Highly likely.
Will it make an epic chapter to our story. Most definitely. Will it change lives. Without a doubt.

Join us in this journey.
