Four of 100,000 supporters Last Sunday, my mum, my sister, family friend from Norway and I joined 99,996 people across Australia walking or running for breast cancer research in the Mother's Day Classic. We couldn't have asked for better weather or a friendlier, more welcoming community event. It was wonderful. And to have been able to share the experience with three mums on Mother's Day made it even more special. Some of the tributes we read tacked on to people's backs made us teary but it was the sheer joy and celebration of the women who had not only survived, but thrived, that set the overall tone. What an accomplishment! What a battle to have won. And, contrary to my initial thoughts, I know a few more people who have (had) breast cancer. Tanya, Marilyn, Heather, Sheila and Ziona, our 8km walk was for you! Thank you to everyone who sent me words of encouragement and support. They meant so much to me. My fundraising page is still active so if you are able to, please make a donation so that we can make significant change together - both to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and society in general.
