One in 8 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85. It could be you, your sister, mother, cousin, aunt, partner or friend. Breast cancer really can affect any one of us.
The 2008 Mothers Day Classic held on Sunday 11 May attracted record crowds across Australia with over 67,000 participants walking or running for breast cancer research.
Congratulations to all participants and sponsors for getting involved and joining the fight against breast cancer.
Next year’s Mothers Day Classic will be held on
