She Said Yes!

Night 'n Day team member, Taz Dawson ended his Southern Traverse in style by popping the question to girlfriend Shelley Hill at the finish line. "I'm totally overwhelmed," said Shelly after she tearfully accepted with cheers from the crowd. "It was totally unexpected. Fellow support team member, Scott Dagg had been hiding the ring in his sunglasses case for the duration of the race. "There were a couple of near misses when Shelley picked up the case and I had to tell her very quickly to put it down!"
