Day 8. Gratitude July

Grateful for Role Models. Rob de Castella (Deeks) is an Australian marathon champion with two Commonwealth games gold medals, as well as significant achievements in other international races. A modest bloke with a passion for helping young indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to improve their health, and to change lives through running and the opportunities that can bring using the Indigenous Marathon Project.

I met him at the Legends Lunch at the Gold Coast Airport Marathon.  I also shook his hand at the finish line, as he stood there waiting to welcome each of the IMP runners at the finish line.
