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.

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.
