2019 Mother's Day Classic

Just short of 100,000 people took part in this year’s MDC – Australia’s largest breast cancer fundraiser – which has grown from a literal walk in the park 22 years ago to a national institution occurring in nearly 90 locations. About 25,000 of the participants attended the Melbourne event.

In Canberra, people could barely see their feet as they trotted around Lake Burley Griffin, in Melbourne it was crisp, damp and grey before the sun emerged for the walk, while Sydney was sunny – as were dozens of the country towns that fielded participants in the Mother’s Day Classic breast cancer fundraising walk and run.

The event has so far raised more than $36 million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s research to improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer – and has set a target of $40 million by 2020. With fundraising still open until 30 June the total is well on its way to this target.
