A gratifying day at the 2016 Mother’s Day Classic
Sunday 8 May 2016 was a damp day in Melbourne for the nineteenthMother’s Day Classic.
My immediate family; Michelle, Guy, Nikki and James joined me as we
walked the Melbourne course around The Tan. Although it was pouring with
rain as we left home, by the time we reached the start line the rain was
just a sprinkling. Along with over thirty thousand other people, we did
our bit to help raise money for breast cancer research.
After the runners and walkers had completed the course, there were
presentations on stage for the best costumes, biggest team and a few
other acknowledgements.

Although I accepted the award and it has my name on it, the
acknowledgment was really for all of you who have donated to my
annual campaign.

Thank you.
I can’t raise a significant amount of money unless I have a community of
people who are willing to dip into their pocket each year and make a
donation.

Let’s prevent any more friends, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, wives or
daughters from dying of breast cancer. Research has enabled the
five-year survival rate for breast cancer to hit 90%, but there’s still
so much work to be done to fully understand and treat advanced breast
cancer, where the five-year survival rates is only 22%.
