Karen and her daughter in Brisbane

I thoroughly enjoyed Mothers Day in Brisbane, thank you, thank you. It was a goal of mine to loose 20 kilos over the past six months and compete in this day to celebrate who we are as mums.  This is me with my daughter Claire and look how happy with both are. My wonderful husband Stuart pushed Claire in a stroller for the 4.5km whilst I challenged myself to my first ever run.  A friend from work (Heather) and her 70 year old father (Ed) also enjoyed the day and in fact Ed encouraged Heather all the way to the finish line and they both also ran the event. 

What topped off this wonderful morning was running into a friend who I hadn't seen for around 18 years. I was telling her how fortunate we were that our families and friends hadn't been touched by cancer.  She then let me know that she was a survivor from five years ago and was also here to celebrate that achievement.

What a wonderful way to finish off a magical morning.Thank you for putting this event on and we look forward to participanting in many more.
