OVERWHELMING NUMBERS AT THE
2009 MOTHER’S DAY CLASSIC

The Mother’s Day Classic fun run/walk for breast cancer research attracted 80,000 people nationally, the highest ever number of participants in the event’s 12-year history, up from 67,000 in 2008. Women in Super, organisers of the event, were thrilled with the large turn-out.

“It’s fantastic to see so many people up early on Mother’s Day to support such a good cause, and paying tribute to their mums” said Louise Davidson, National Chair of the Mother’s Day Classic Committee. “We saw a lot of families and groups of friends who had a great morning as well as contributing to breast cancer research.” . . . more

Breast cancer strikes one in nine Australian women. The Mother’s Day Classic gives you the chance to make a difference to the lives of those women.  Since 1998, the Mother’s Day Classic has raised $4.4 million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s research programs.
The Mother’s Day Classic, one of Australia’s leading charity events, is organised by Women in Super - a national network of women in the superannuation and finance industries - and proudly sponsored by Members Equity Bank.
