Nigel Clark

An all round sports fan - except for running! Nigel played a lot of rugby up until the age of 30. Since then he has completed the South Downs 100km Trailwalker and "trundled" through three marathons and swore he wouldn't run another. However, he inherited from his late father a passion for seeing the world and for adventure, and couldn't resist a crack at the North Pole Marathon. Persuading his brother to join him and recruiting the rest of the like minded team was the easy part. It's now suddenly dawning on Nigel what the hard part is! Nigel, 38, is married to Becks and has a daughter, Lucy, aged 1 with another baby due on 17 May ("we're hoping it won't come too early!"). He lives in Hampshire but works in London as a partner of Minter Ellison, an Australian law firm. The team are running to raise money for the kidney unit of Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children's hospital in London. They are also running in the memory of Mari-Simon Cronje, the daughter of team mate Andre, who died in a tragic accident in September 2010.
