Eddie Cody in the media

In this interview with Andrew Balding from ABC radio, Eddie Cody explains how he prepared for his first-ever marathon in Sydney on Sunday, at the mining camp where he works in Western Australia.  He was motivated by the knowledge that his little niece Ava, who has Down syndrome can have a very good life with appropriate support - and he thought he could probably raise a very useful 'three or four' thousand dollars for Down Syndrome NSW. (By race day he had raised $60,000!)

The Pilbara Echo also interviewed Eddie, and published a great photo of him at work.

We should not be surprised to learn that as word spread amongst his workmates about his training, several sought him out to tell him about a person with Down syndrome in their own families ... and to make a contribution.  Our thanks again to all of you.
