Hi Organisers, if you're reading this perhaps you should contact this guy http://www.teamhoyt.com/history.shtml and sponsor him to come out and run the Sydney Running Festival Blackmores Marathon. Imagine how he would feel running across our fabulous bridge.

Anyhow, just a thought.

What a role model for a father!  I had a look at their calendar and, unfortunately, they seem to be unavailable every Sunday in September.

That sort of "just get on with it" attitude is real heroism isn't it ?  A really moving story - and they sound like terrific characters :D

Many thanks for posting the link.
