I feel like I've reached an age where I can relax a little bit with the knowledge of what I've been through, take all that experience and use it. I love the challenge of trying to get back to where I've been, and beyond it.

Realise there is always somebody else in the World who's not coping as well as you are.

When I was 18 years old, about to develop my sportsman career, the asthma complaints became already some years before.

Asthma is treatable and well can be controlled.

I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.

I made publicity contracts with Nike, several broadcasting companies and airline companies within Australia.

I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.
