SUPPORTING Breast Cancer Research
Support my efforts in the 2025 Mother's Day Classic!
On Sunday 11 May, I will be walking the Tan for breast cancer research!
As many of you know, I was one of the founders of the Mother's Day Classic, alongside my friend Mavis Robertson. This year is 10 years since Mavis died, so I will be thinking of her as I walk the Tan.
My motivation for starting the event was the loss of my mum to breast cancer when she was only 52. Since then I have had my own breast cancer diagnosis, as have many of my friends. This year I will be walking in Team Ros to support my dear friend Ros McKay as she undergoes treatment for her recently diagnosed breast cancer.
Since it started, the Mother's Day Classic has raised over $46 million for breast cancer research, and last year we added ovarian cancer research as well.
I really appreciate any donation you can make.
Thank you!
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
