A mum and her girls Every year I'm reminded of how many women are affected by breast cancer. How many people know people who have survived it, have it, or have died from it. I'm incredibly lucky that only a handful of people I know have had to fight it. Thankfully two of them - my aunt in South Africa and my hairdresser of 12 years (and therefore long-lasting friend) - are doing really well. One in remission and one currently undergoing chemotherapy but standing strong. But it could have gone the other way. Quite easily. Can you imagine if we found a cure? That's why I take part in the Mother's Day Classic. In hope. This year, for the first time, I'll be walking the 8km track with my mum and sister! I'm excited. I'm even thinking I may be able to coerce my nieces into foregoing their teenage ways and getting up early to join us! Please support me in doing the hard yards on Sunday? They're absolutely nothing compared to what someone with breast cancer has to go through, I know but every dollar helps the National Breast Cancer Foundation, truly.
