SUPPORTING Breast Cancer Research

Mother's Day Classic

I’m supporting the Mother’s Day Classic 2026 because breast cancer research is deeply personal to me. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2021, and in March 2025 I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Research gives people like me hope—hope for better treatments, longer lives, and one day a cure. By raising money and supporting this event, I want to help fund the research that will make a difference for the many families affected by breast cancer.


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

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 walk, run, and move till we’re done.

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.

$48.23 million

$2.57 million

Since 2024 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation
