I Was Running Since I Was 10.

I Made Publicity Contracts With Nike, Several Broadcasting Companies And Airline Companies Within Australia.

I Lie Around The Floor With My Cats Billy And Jazz Or Watch Dvds With My Best Friends.

I Want To Be A Positive Role Model, Especially For Kids And Aboriginal People... When People See Me, Often All They See Is Another Australian Athlete Having A Go. It Isn't Until They See The Full Cathy Freeman Picture That They Realise How Proud I Am Of My Ancestry And Heritage. I'd Like A Little More Tolerance And Acceptance Of My Culture And All The Differing Cultures That Make Up Australia.

I'm Doing Something Now Where I'm Going To Have To Learn So Much And That Takes Time Nurturing, Those Kinds Of Relationships.

I Made My First Australian Senior Team When I Was 16, First Olympics When I Was 19, And I Retired. I'm 32, I Retired Four Years Ago, So A Good Third Of My Life Or Nearly A Third Of My Life Has Been All About Running.
