The Mother’s Day Classic donates $1.75 million to breast cancer research

Australia’s largest breast cancer fundraiser, the Women in Super Mother’s Day Classic (MDC) is proud to announce its annual donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) for vital research to improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

The $1.75 million cheque was presented to the NBCF at a special celebration event at the Langham Hotel in Melbourne. This represented the fundraising efforts of nearly 100,000 participants, volunteers and spectators, and the support of sponsors and partners, who all contributed to Mother’s Day Classic events around Australia earlier this year.

This year the Mother’s Day Classic continued to be the premier activity on Mother’s Day for women, men, children, family, friends and teams with thousands of people gathering around the country to make their Mother’s Day mean more. They walked, ran, volunteered and cheered at locations from Cairns to Hobart, Broome to Port Macquarie and everywhere in between.

One in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime

The aim of the Mother’s Day Classic walk and fun run is to deliver a fun, healthy and inspirational event that brings the communities all across Australia together on Mother’s Day to support and remember those touched by breast cancer.

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 $40million by 2020. Since 1994 the five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with breast cancer has improved from 76% to 91% – statistical proof that investment in research is money well spent.

We hope you will join us for the next Mother’s Day walk and fun run and help make a difference in the life of anyone touched by breast cancer.

Become a host of a regional 2020 Mother’s Day Classic event – registrations now open!

Are you looking for a way to support people in your local area who have been touched by breast cancer? Why not consider becoming a regional host of a 2020 event? Last year, all across Australia in small towns just like yours, ordinary people with no prior experience put their hands up to help raise funds for vital breast cancer research that will save lives.

The Mother’s Day Classic provides the opportunity to create an inspiring fundraising event where absolutely everyone can get involved.  Regional events can be less formal than the capital city events and can be as simple as a walk in the park!

Women in regional areas are often faced with very different challenges when it comes to being treated for breast cancer. Some of the research projects funded by MDC over the past 22 years have dealt specifically with these difficulties. With your help we can continue to create more positive survival outcomes for anyone diagnosed with this disease.
