Personal Statement
Every year I'm reminded of how many women are affected by breast cancer. How many people know people who have survived it, have it or have died from it. I am incredibly lucky that only a handful of people I know have had to fight it. Thankfully two of them - my aunt and my hairdresser of 12 years (and therefore longlasting friend) - are doing really well. One in remission and one currently undergoing chemotherapy but standing strong. But it could have gone the other way. Quite easily.
Can you imagine if we found a cure? That's why I take part in the Mother's Day Classic. In hope.
This year, for the first time, I'll be walking the 8km with my mum and sister! I'm excited. Maybe I can even coerce my nieces to forego their teenage ways and get up early so they can join us too! Please support me in doing the hard yards on Sunday? They're nothing compared to what someone who has breast cancer goes through I know, but very dollar helps, truly.
Thank you!

About the Mother's Day Classic
The Mother's Day Classic is one of Australia's largest charity events. The annual fun run and walk raises money for breast cancer research.
Individual fundraising is an excellent way to raise extra money for breast cancer research. Whether you are raising funds for your own walk or as part of a team, you are doing it to make a difference. And if you raise the highest funds in your state you can win a great prize - $1,000 in Qantas domestic flights!
In 2009, a record 80,000 people participated in a walk or run in different cities and regional centres across the country and raised $1.3 million for research into the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer. Help set a new record in 2010 by supporting the Mother's Day Classic fundraisers.
In 2010, the Mother's Day Classic will be held in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney CBD/ Parramatta. There are also many regional events across the country, plus local communities are encouraged to get involved by staging their own Mother's Day Classic event.
Thanks for supporting the Mother's Day Classic fundraisers.
Make it a classic Mother's Day this year and raise funds for breast cancer research.
