SUPPORTING Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research
Support my efforts in the 2025 Mother's Day Classic!
On Sunday 11 May, I'm putting my foot down to save lives.
Hi all, as you know I’ve been involved with the Mother’s Day Classic for more than 20 years..and this year is no exception! I’ll be splitting any donation you make equally between supporting the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Money raised goes directly to funding vital research on both of these cancers, for better treatment and ultimately a cure for both. Please donate what you can and remember, it’s tax deductible!
Tragically, every day in Australia 63 people diagnosed and 12 lose their lives to breast or ovarian cancer
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
