‘Life is short’: Cancer survivor running 100th marathon in Sydney | lucky_manly
Ten years on from a cancer diagnosis, photographer and father-of-two Christian Gilles will run his 100th marathon at the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival on Sunday.
“Life is short – I realised that when I’m faced with this disease – I want this to be an inspiration, even if it is one person.” The full course is 42.195 kilometres with the Sydney Marathon starting at 7am from Bradfield Park in Milsons Point. Participants cross the Harbour Bridge and run through the city before reaching the finish line at the Opera House forecourt.“You must have a goal and a schedule to attain that goal, believe in yourself and have confidence. Always look for excellence in yourself,” he said.
Operation Commander Detective Superintendent Paul Devaney said police have been working closely with event organisers.“The Sydney Harbour Bridge, as well as roads in Milsons Point, Sydney CBD, Darlinghurst and Pyrmont will start closing from 4am, while closures in Moore Park will be in place from 5.30am,” he said.
