Leonie Stander Delport

Leonie is a medical doctor who loves combining travel with running and hiking, having done lots of marathons, ultra marathons and other interesting things all over the world. Her motto is 'life is too short to do the same thing twice', and she is forever searching for a new adventure, always with great success! Leonie first heard about the NPM in 2012 when her brother told her about a friend pursuing a 'mad' dream of becoming a member of the prestigious Grand Slam Marathon Club. Leonie was hooked and found the perfect ‘partner in crime’ with her friend, Sonja Viljoen. They are both doctors based in Kroonstad, South Africa, and have been working together for 25 years. They hope to become associate members of the Grand Slam Club, both at age 50 on 9 April 2016. NETCARE Kroon Hospital has generously sponsored their airline tickets for the trip.
