“There’s such an amazing atmosphere and spirit, as well as the competition, which is brilliant and that’s why I would encourage everyone to compete in events like this.”

“The inspiration watching those in their 70s/80s, still out there running, I’m like, that’s what I want to do. There’s just no giving up.”

I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.
