Guy Leech
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guy Leech is a former Australian Ironman champion who is married to whale conservationist, Mimi Macpherson (sister of Elle Macpherson). Guy has now retired from formal competition but in his prime, he was the seven-time winner of the Uncle Toby's Iron Man Series.
Now in his forties, Leech runs kayak and fitness sessions through his company, OzPaddle, who are one of Australia's most well-known paddling outfitters. Leech's other commitments include commentating for current Iron Man series and being the face of his own brand of vitamin supplements.
In 2006, Guy appeared on the Seven Network's Celebrity Survivor, vying for a cash prize of $AU100,000 to be donated to his nominated charity. Guy was voted out sixth (i.e. seventh place in the game) and his charity, Ride Aid Inc, received a donation of $AU5000 on Guy's behalf from his participation in the Survivor competition. However, he returned to the game along with Justin Melvey due to a twist to the show. Melvey took Guy to the finals over Imogen Bailey and in the end beat him at the final Tribal Council and took home an extra $AU95000 for his charity.
