Catherine Freeman is an Olympic Gold Medalist and founder of the Catherine Freeman Foundation, an organisation that seeks to better the lives of indigenous Australians and create strong educational opportunities in disadvantaged communities.
As an ambassador for good will and with a desire to affect change in the community, Catherine has thrown her support behind the Black Saturday Run.
Knowing the daunting challenge that the Black Saturday runners face, Catherine's support and advice has been incredibly welcome, and she hopes that people will dig deep when they need to and think of all the people affected by Black Saturday.
Catherine has had an outstanding career as an athlete, and continues to build her legacy through her charitable and community minded nature.
