Andre Cronje

A keen sportsman who enjoys keeping fit. Andre has run many marathons and ultra-marathons including the Comrades in South Africa on two occasions. He promised never to run a marathon again, leave aside a marathon in arctic conditions! However, Andre's daughter Mari-Simon was sadly involved in a tragic and fatal accident last September which is the main reason why he has taken on this challenge. His team have dedicated the race to Mari-Simon and are raising money for Great Ormond Street Children's Kidney Centre in memory of his daughter. Andre lives in Putney with his wife Ancia and son Andre-Pierre and works at UBS as the CEO for its UK Wealth Management business.
