Two Olympians have teamed up for a gruelling challenge in an effort to change the lives of children born with clubfoot. 

Tennis athlete Marcus Daniell (NZ Olympian #1264) and canoe sprint athlete Max Brown (NZ Olympian #1398) are running the Queenstown marathon on November 15th. 

What’s different about this challenge is that the pair will be wearing weighted vests, with every gram of weight in the vests determined by donations. For every dollar given, the donor chooses whether to add 1 gram of weight or show mercy by removing it.

The fundraiser will support children born with clubfoot through the charity Miracle Feet. One child is born with clubfoot every three minutes, and over two million kids globally are growing up with the disability.
