I lost my mum to breast cancer when I was 10 years old. My mum was only 34 years old. I love the Mother’s Day classic community and the events they run in hope one day will find a cure.

I host the local event in Newcastle, in loving memory of my Mum. Gone too soon, I miss you dearly! You will never be forgotten, always in my heart and forever my shining light and inspiration ❤

In memory of Keryn, Judy and Jo, missing you girls. Thank you for getting me through my battle, I know you were with me all the way. This run was for you today 💖

This week we said goodbye to my 2nd mom, my Aunty Col, who lost her brave fight with breast cancer. She was an amazing person, with an incredible sense of humour and positivity even when life was handing her lemons. She was an angel on earth, always going out of her way to help others and I have no doubt I have another angel looking over me from above. Will always think of you and all the others close to me we’ve lost to the cruelest disease and those still fighting 💗😢

I ran the Mother's Day Classic today to celebrate after the end of my chemo, and for all the amazing warrior women out there fighting breast cancer ❤️

I’m walking today for all mums, friends, clients, and strangers who have had, who are fighting, who have passed or survived breast cancer. I joined the statistics this year and was lucky. Not everyone is.

We miss you mum. Even after all these years. I wish you could see my babies now. They are all grown. Keep on doing Gods work 🙏🏻

I am running in memory of my mother who passed away from Cancer.

You may be gone in presence but you are remembered always by us. Your grandchildren will always know who you were and the resilience you showed to beat this horrible disease. I drew spirit from your efforts., Love Damien, Megan, Ruby & Jacob.

In Remembrance of Rozie a beautiful soul. Always and forever xx

Walking for all those touched by cancer xxx In memory of my Nan Tilly who sadly lost her battle at age 102 years and my Aunty Linda who has been a survivor for over twelve years now. Both remarkable and inspirational women who's strength helped me when I faced my own diagnosis in 2021 xxx

Doing this in remembrance of my Mum and dear friend Julie who both left this world much to early. Thinking of you today and always. xxxxoooo

My beautiful daughter Katherine Collura passed away at 44 years in January 2023 with triple negative breast cancer. She tried everything thing including alternative medicines and healthy lifestyle to stay with her husband, daughter and family. A absolutely beautiful woman who never for 1 minute deserved this fight.

Renae, you are an inspiration! You bring joy to all you come in contact with.

In loving memory of my beautiful sister Martine who lost her battle in 2021 after just turning 45 She is the strongest woman l’ve ever known Always in our hearts 💕💕

For the eternal memory of JDW my special love. For a healthy response to treatment for CN and CP.

My sister Ali was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in 2011. She passed away in 2013 shortly after her 47th birthday. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Ali’s passing. She still had so much to do, see and live for. She didn’t get to retire and grow old. This is my 12th Mothers Day Classic. I hope that funds raised towards research will one day eradicate this insidious disease. Although Ali is no longer with us her star still shines brightly. Forever loved and missed xxxxx

Miss you every day Mum. xx

I am walking to honour my sister Gillian RIP 2020. I am also celebrating being a survivor, first diagnosed 2014

I’m walking in memory of my daughter who was also a beloved mother, sister, aunt, niece, grandmother and friend to many. Hopefully funds raised from this event used for research come closer and closer to saving future lives of all our loved ones. So Little girls born now don’t know the meaning of breast cancer.

I am doing this for my mother, my two aunts, my cousin and my grandmother, all touched by breast cancer. Each of them have made such an impact in my life - and I am so grateful I can give just a little back.

To mum, may you be blessed throughout your journey. Thank you for being so brave and such an inspiration

I’m walking on Sunday in honour of my beautiful Mum who we lost in 2021. I miss you every second and know how important to you it is to take part in this and help anyone that has had cancer touch their lives. I wish you were here to walk with me and celebrate this Sunday together. Love you always x

To my beautiful friends who I’ll never forget… Angela and Sally, I’ll think of you as I’m walking on Sunday.

For Mum, who was taken from us in 2021. She fought so hard, and I will forever be inspired by her bravery and determination. We will keep fighting for you Mum. Miss you every single day. Lots of love 🩷

Mum, you were so young when you went. How hard it must have been to know you were leaving behind a young family who needed you so much. Even though it's been nearly 50 years since you left us I think about you often and still miss you.

Sue Rolland 12-5-1964 - 4-10-22 58 years young Fought like a trouper. An Amazing Mother & Friend. "Hey Honey" you'll never be forgotten We walk to salute you and everyone else who is fighting Love you always

A lovely lady,we still miss her deeply.

To my grandmother- you left us a long time ago but you are never forgotten. In our hearts forever.

To my dear Mum Nina who fought a short but scary battle with breast cancer over 11 1/2 years ago. You died just 2 days after my birthday and the last thing you said to me before slipping away was Happy Birthday. This was typical of you as you always thought of us before anyone or anything else. You lost your own mum as a teenager so being a mum was everything to you. Not a day passes that I don't think of you and am so sad that you didn't get to see my sons marry and have their own children - you would have loved them I know! I hope that you have found rest and peace free of pain now mum. I'll never forget you. Love always Franca xoxoxoxoxoxo

I'm walking this Sunday 14th May, in honor of my beautiful Mum Jean, who we lost 29 years ago to Breast Cancer. I have been raising money for Breast Cancer for over 26 years & will continue to do so, as long as I can. For my Mum, friends & all other women...we WILL find a cure!💞

My beautiful Mum Susanne, I miss you every day. I wish you were here to meet beautiful Lily, you so wanted to be a nanny - I know you would love her with every last breath as you did Benjamin and I. I hope I can be half as good at being a Mum as you and Lily will be one lucky girl. Love you forever Leah and Lily

I'M WALKING FOR MY LATE WIFE LYNNE SCHOFIELD MISS YOU LYNNE

For my mum Beverley who is such an inspiration 4 years on from her diagnosis, and for me who was diagnosed in December 2022 at age 32. Here's to more research so every woman survives her diagnosis and can keep being the wife/mother/sister/daughter/friend/grandma and/or aunt she wants to be!

For my mum, who is still living with the side horrible side effects of being diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in the middle of 2020. I love you, you didn’t deserve this, and I wish the pandemic hadn’t made it impossible to support you more. Also, to my mother-in-law, who not even two years earlier, was also diagnosed with breast cancer and is still living with the aftermath, both physically and emotionally (something that is not spoken of enough)! And to my grandmother and aunt, and also my best friend Gab… these women give so much, and we need to do everything we can to give back to them, and their health and well-being.

In memory of a beautiful wife and devoted mother sadly taken from our lives. We pay tribute to your strength and courage during this awful disease so many years ago. Dearly missed by family and friends.

I am doing this for my mum who we lost in 2011. I have cancer myself at the moment but it wont let me stop running in memory of my mother for the sacrifices that she made for our family. This is for you Mum. RIP.

I am doing the Mother’s Day Classic, not only in memory of my dear friend Penny Pickup, who inspired me to live life to the full after losing my first husband, but also many other friends that have lost their battle to this terrible disease, I have too many in my family to list them all. And also a salute to all the survivors, may your strength and courage keep you all going for a long time xx

No way would Mum have run with me but she would have been so proud.

Aunty Penny. You have been so strong physically and emotionally. You are an inspiration to not only us, but the whole family and the community. We love you so much and we are doing the MDC as tribute to you 💜 Love Mads and Rae x

2 years without my beautiful wife Jacqueline. I miss you everyday. Your ever loving wife . Helen.

5 years ago my best friend passed away from TNBC at only 24 years, a short 10 month battle. I never thought we'd get through the first yesr without you, let alone now up to 5 years. Hope you're flying high girl, I still miss you just as much

I'm running in memory of my beautiful cousin Gail, one of the kindest people I've ever known. This one's for you xx

Mum!! Missing you heaps. I’m doing this for you and wishing you were here this Mothers Day 💕 love you!

For all the brave women who have fought , fighting or still fighting breast cancer.

To all the brave women who have fought or still fighting Breast Cancer. I am doing this for you

•Sending love to every woman diagnosed with breast cancer while they were pregnant. •Thanking those who came before me that had chemo while pregnant before there was data showing it was safe. •Remembering those who may not have had that opportunity. •Giving hope to those who will be diagnosed in future •Celebrating my son who did four rounds of chemo with me still in the womb for giving me the strength to fight and survive.

In loving memory of my beautiful daughter Renee. Five years ago, sadly passed away from triple negative BC, after a short battle at the age of 24. Forever loved and sadly missed. Mum xoxo

On behalf of lovely friends, I have lost due to breast cancer: Susana, Olga, Angie and Margareta and two presently surviving with cancer plus a few other complications: Dinka and Elizabeth. Research is finally leading to some good results and less painful treatments such as the Olivia Newton John Centre and Monash University - keep it going!

All still here with us today. May God continue to give you strength on your past and current journey.

To my sister Jenny Buchan, you inspire me every day to live life to the fullest. Miss you so much and pray that one day breast cancer will be in the past

I am walking for my late mother, Helene. Remembered always with lots of love.

Forever our Nanny Primmer

As a person who has had breast cancer I was told by a friend who had it years prior to mine to listen to the doctors and follow their advice for treatment. You are in good hands with the wonderful professionals. Be around those personally who are there for you and focus on doing what you need to do to get through this. I would often go to the waterfront and put my feet in the sand and watch the world go by. There is so much support available so don’t feel you are alone - reach out for help when needed. Love and light to all 💜

I would like lo dedicate Mothers Day Walk to Toni and Jo Francis

I am doing the MDC for family & friends in the hope that one day breast cancer will be a thing of the past.

Celebrating my aunt Janet, cousin Deb, friend Jo, and myself - all survivors!

This is a tribute to our beautiful mum Jan Lowe who passed away in 2021 at the age of 51. She left behind a legacy of love, friendship, kindness, support, colour and compassion. She walks with us. 💗

I'm doing this for Carmel Malone, trooper, Auntie and sister in law Sending our thoughts and love to you through the universe.
