Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research
Since 1998, we’ve been dedicated to walking, running and fundraising to save women’s lives on Mother’s Day.
In 2024, we took one step further and made it our mission to stop both ovarian and breast cancer in their tracks.
In the last 28 years, our community has donated $48.23 million to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and since 2024, $2.57 million to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

Love and miss you Mum. I know you're still here while I'm living. Miss sharing the milestones and memories with you. Gone too soon from this horrible disease of ovarian cancer.
Colleen
Becoming a Mum without you here Mum, hurts. Happy Mother’s Day my angel. I love you forever Mumma.
Ros Patterson
We will be raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation in loving memory of our mum, Ros, who sadly lost her 5-year-long battle with triple negative breast cancer on the 23rd of May last year. She showed incredible strength throughout her journey, and this fundraiser is a way for us to honour her and keep her memory alive. Your support would mean so much. Every donation helps fund vital research into prevention, early detection, and better treatments for aggressive and hard-to-treat breast cancers like the one she faced.
Mummy
I love you so much

The heart of our family. Mother’s Day is never the same without you. We love you and miss you every day.
To the strong women in my life who were affected by these cancers—my grandmother and my great aunt. Your strength, courage, and resilience will never be forgotten. The battles you faced weren’t easy, but you carried yourselves with a quiet bravery that continues to inspire me every single day. This journey, every step I take, is for you. For your fight, your legacy, and the love you left behind. Forever in my heart 🩷
