Greg will be visiting Harden Shire and Matt will visit Weddin Shire to spread the Australia Day cheer!
They became the first team in history to complete the 4 Desert ‘grand slam’ and have quite an epic story to tell (running through knee deep snow and sub zero temperatures, braving 80km/ph winds and dealing with errant penguins).
The mission started by runner Greg whose son Stephen was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 14.
It is an inspiring father and son(s) story and it is not over yet, as Greg and the team have pledged to race across a fifth desert, Australia’s Simpson Desert in July 2013, all in the name of finding a cure for diabetes.
