FED: McCann was an inspiration to the end - manager

KERRYN MCCANN's manager says the former Olympian was an inspiration to the end.

The two-time Commonwealth Games marathon gold medallist died early this morning from
breast cancer .. her husband and three children by her bedside at home near Wollongong
in NSW.

Manager NIC BIDEAU says the cancer which was first detected last year during her third
pregnancy .. had spread to her liver and brain when she passed away .. aged 41.

He visited MCCANN last Friday and says she was very frail and weak .. but in good spirits
and still trying to give those around her hope.
