Mr Speaker, last sittings you generously hosted the Indigenous Marathon Foundation for an afternoon tea in your office. On 11 June I'll be running South Africa's 87-kilometre Comrades ultramarathon to raise funds for the Indigenous Marathon Foundation. Founded by South African veterans after World War I, the Spirit of Comrades is said to be embodied by the values of camaraderie, selflessness, perseverance and ubuntu. Comrades is the world's largest and oldest ultramarathon, and I hope members might consider supporting the Indigenous Marathon Foundation by sponsoring me in my run.
