In memory of Irene Birch

Supporting Ovarian Cancer Research

Thank you

Thank you to all of our family and friends for your donations so far. Mum was the most selfless person, and as a nurse, it was her nature to always think of others. She would be humbled by your generosity-thank you for supporting this cause in her honour. 

Support our efforts in the 2026 Mother’s Day Classic!

Our team is participating in the Mother's Day Classic, Sunday 10 May!

Together, we'll be lacing up our running shoes and taking a step forward for women's cancer research, and we'd really love your support!

We're walking the talk and joining the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast and ovarian cancers.

Tragically, every day in Australia 63 people diagnosed and 12 lose their lives to breast or ovarian cancer.

Please make a donation today to support our team. There’s only one way to stop breast and ovarian cancers - together!

Thank you for supporting our team.

Together the Mother’s Day Classic community has donated...

$48.23 million

Since 1998 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

$2.57 million

Since 2024 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation

Thank you to all our Sponsors

Thank you. We lost a beautiful, caring loving wife, mother, Nan and friend to this insidious disease. Ovarian cancer does not receive the funding other cancers do. Let’s hope more is known and women don’t have to suffer like Irene
