Don & Mary

Biography
Don & Mary Jean have been married for 20 years and live in Portola Valley, California. Between them they have six children and 16 grandchildren, all from previous marriages. They met almost 27 years ago through mutual friends while they were both married to other people. Donald is a physician, and Mary Jean is an interior designer.  
 
Donald & Mary Jean live for adventure and travel. They have already traveled to six continents and believe that their combined travel experience will make them successful contenders in the Race. They are looking forward to all of the challenges that the Race may bring their way, especially the extreme tasks.  
 
They have been through a lot together, including a near-death experience when their boat of eight people capsized in the South Pacific, throwing Donald onto a coral reef and Mary Jean into the water. The locals later told them that they held a memorial service for them, thinking that there was no way they could survive the treacherous water. The couple survived this horrific experience and emerged with a greater zest for life.  
 
Before being selected for the Race, Mary Jean's most recent accomplishment is losing 23 pounds on Dr. Phil's diet, and Donald's is being an award-winning winemaker.  
 
Although they are the oldest couple on this Race, Donald, 69, and Mary Jean, 65, believe that their life experience and appetite for adventure will be a key asset in winning THE AMAZING RACE.

What a nice story! And they look like a nice couple. I'm hoping they'll make top 5.  Smiley

This team seems to be really strong, despite their age (and they are still working).  They could be another Teri/Ian team - making it to the final 3.

Cool Yup! If only Avi and Joe heard that Don and MJ chose Ice Climb, those two boys will be ashamed of themselves!  Cheesy

Teri/Ian also came in 9th in the 1st leg. But I doubt these two can compare to Teri/Ian in terms of position.

They just don't seem physically strong enough to pull this off.

They're such a sweet couple! When they were on the glacier, and Don said, "Look at this, love." My heart melted! I snuggled up closer to Jon and told him that is what I want to be like in 40 years.

They said they're going to use their brains. Well, too bad, but I think it takes more than brains to be in the Race. If they ARE going to use it, they should have used it in booking earlier flights to increase their leads from the other teams. As of now, they're not leading.
