Maya’s Booby Brigade

Supporting Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research

Support our efforts in the 2025 Mother’s Day Classic!

Our team is participating in the Mother's Day Classic, Sunday 11 May!

This year, we have a personal reason to participate. Our beautiful daughter/sister/girl-friend/niece/aunty/friend Maya has been diagnosed with breast cancer at just 22.

This is a shock to all of us but we are thankful that so much has been achieved in the fight against this awful disease, and that Maya will benefit from the best care that can be offered.

But more can always be done. Research is critical so we're walking the talk and joining the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast and ovarian cancers.

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.

We've donated so far...

$46.1 million

Since 1998 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

$1.2 million

Since 2024 to the Ovarian Cancer research Foundation

Thank you to our Sponsors

My beautiful maya! My heart is shattered but you being so emotionally intelligent, strong willed yet having such a soft and compassionate personality makes me think you are one of the only people who could handle such a horrible thing at such a young age. No one deserves this but if I know anything about you, you’ll get through this! I love you so much, you’re such a special person, someone I still speak about and think of often. You make such a positive impact on people’s lives and I’m so grateful I get to be one of them! Xxx
