Lyn La Canna

Lyn has run the Melbourne Marathon twice, the London Marathon, the New York Marathon, the Antarctic Ice Marathon and the Australian Outback Marathon as well as numerous half marathons and a few shorter distance events. She took up running in 2007 when she participated in a fundraiser after a friend's three-year-old daughter had a heart attack and was in an induced coma in Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital. Lyn plans to run a marathon on each continent plus the North Pole Marathon. She says she is “complete, frigging lunatic who eats too much chocolate, drinks too much wine and doesn't train anywhere near enough to get her through a normal marathon let alone one at the North Pole.
