RUN FOR A REASON
 Ben Maddern, Joel Craddock and Nick Hayes (pictured) ran 900km from Melbourne to Sydney over 21 days – an incredible 40km (a full marathon) each day! The guys received sponsorship and donations along the way and those generous donations combined with the money raised at their end of run function resulted in a total of $50,000 donated to the McGrath Foundation. Thanks boys!
