Peace, Unity And Harmony!

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 Am Very Determined And The Sport Is My Passion. I Believe I Am Born For Running.

I'm Certainly Not Ready To Go Changing The World Overnight Right Now. I'm Completely Uninformed About A Lot Of Our Issues, A Lot Of The Nation's Issues, Not Just Indigenous Issues.

When I'm In A Bad Mood, I Don't Listen.

The Last Sort Of Really Low-key Race I Ran, I Realized With About A Hundred Metres To Go, That My Heart Just Wasn't In It. I Wasn't Trying My Hardest, I Didn't Care To Compete Against The Girls I Was Up Against. That Spoke A Lot About Where My Heart Was Taking Me-which Was Off The Track.
