Mother's Day Classic Foundation - Sophie vanHaalen

SUPPORTING Breast 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.

I’m joining the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast and ovarian cancers. In 2023 I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer at just 36 years old. After undergoing a year of intensive treatment, I was one of the lucky ones and now in remission - I was well enough to walk last year (just two days after completing treatment). This year I've challenged myself to run!

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 our family but to support me as I run and move till we’re done.

Please sign up or 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.
