M-Net CEO, Yolisa Phahle was all praises about Deirdre.
He said “We’re in the business of telling South African stories and supporting South African talent. In both respects, Deirdre Larkin has motivated people across the country with her astonishing energy and her incredible spirit. We felt that it was only fitting that, as a group of companies, we help her achieve her ambitions. Her success, however, is all and entirely her own.”
Deirdre ran the Geneva Marathon on 8th May 2017, and broke her own record!
She ran the race in 2:05:13, breaking her previous record of 2:12:37 for the 85+ World Half Marathon Record. She is truly an inspiration to everyone, showing that age is just a number and to live life to it’s fullest.
