"Most people taking part in the MyMarathon aim to run or walk a marathon (42km) around their neighbourhood during May.
"I planned this year to do 84km, but it felt so good, and I still had a few days to go, so I kept going and reached 100km on the last day of the month.”
To achieve this, Evan, 55, pushed his wheelchair through the streets of Rangiora for 3km each day when he could.
"It’s been a long while since I was fit enough to do what would have been very easy back when I raced in the Paralympics in Barcelona in 1992, but I feel a lot fitter now, and it's been a very enjoyable process pushing myself to reach the 100km mark."
Evan (Paralympian #76) has suffered from Spina bifida all his life.
He made his Paralympic debut at Barcelona 1992, where he broke the world record in the 400m along with four others in the semi-finals.
Sadly, further complications from later surgery stopped Evan from continuing to compete at an international level.
“My grandfather, Robert Hunt, died in 1988 of a heart attack.
"He was 68 years old, and he had suffered from angina and heart issues for years, so I wanted to do what I could to help others.
"I wish to thank all my supporters for helping raise some money to help Kiwi hearts."
- In total, Evan raised $518 and covered 135km for the MyMarathon fundraiser.
