No bridge too far
for Seven's Bath
AS Channel Seven's main
newsreader, Chris Bath is
used to living life at
breakneck pace.
But she'll be forced to
slow down when she takes
part in this year's Seven
Bridges Walk.
"I've run it in the past,
but unfortunately my
knees have given up on
me so I can no longer do
that. I'll walk it this year,"
the newsreader says.
"There's a great feel on
the day, and camaraderie
among the participants in
doing something at a
slower pace.
"You can also check out
the architecture and, best of
all, raise some money. So
it's good for your health
and that of others."
The October event,
now in its fourth year,
raises funds for Cancer
Council NSW.
The inaugural 2006 walk
drew 6000 participants.
Last year, the event
attracted more than
20,000 people.
Entrants can walk or run
and can start at any of the
seven "villages".
"It's not a competition.
You can do the whole thing
or a little bit of it it's up
to you," Bath says.
Bath will be walking
alongside her nine-year old
son, Darcy.
The seven bridges
Sydney Harbour Bridge,
Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac
Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge,
Gladesville Bridge, Tarban
Creek Bridge and Figtree
Bridge are walked in a
clockwise direction.
The event is organised by
the Pedestrian Council of
Australia and will take
place on October 31.
