Rory's Story and the Race to Save Lives | Brisbane News
Description
A young man named Rory Esler died from bowel cancer at 35 after his symptoms were dismissed as irritable bowel syndrome — a tragic case highlighting how age bias delays diagnosis and worsens outcomes. His partner Olivia is now running the Gold Coast half marathon to honor him and urge young Australians to advocate for themselves when symptoms arise. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast Marathon is set for a record turnout with 43,000 runners, backed by enhanced safety — including 17 medical professionals running alongside participants and a new “first aid runner” system to ensure rapid emergency response.
