Breaking the shame

Charmaine Patrick qualified as one of six women from across Australia to join the Indigenous Marathon Project and now trains to run in the New York Marathon later this year. To begin team training she will soon join the other runners in Canberra and again throughout the year in the Gold Coast, Sydney and Alice Springs. Currently she has been running up to 8 kilometres a day but is looking forward to the training that will help her run the full marathon distance of 42 kilometres.
