SUPPORTING Ovarian Cancer Research

On Sunday 10 May, I'm putting my foot down to save lives.

After losing my sister, Michele, and my Mother-in-Law, Robi, I’m 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.

I’m asking you to do more than just stand with me but to support me as I run my longest ever distance of 15km. 

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

Thank you for your support.

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
