Lindsay Mullins
Lindsay first became involved with the Mother’s Day Classic in 2003. His wife, Filomena had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 at the age of 35. Their children – James and Katharine - were just four years old and 18 months at the time. Filomena fought the disease for 34 months. It was in her final few months that Lindsay decided to run in his first Mother’s Day Classic. In his first year running he raised $795. His wife was thrilled and encouraged Lindsay to continue to raise money and awareness. Lindsay has stayed true to her wish and run in the Mother’s Day Classic ever since.
Lindsay participated in his ninth Mother's Day Classic this year with his children, James and Katharine. He is also the 2011 highest fundraiser in Victoria having raised over $9,000 to date and his grand total raised for breast cancer research is more than $68,000 (as at 13 May 2011).

Lauren Couter
Lauren has been ACT’s highest fundraiser for three consecutive years, raising $8,910 in 2009, $12, 145 in 2010 and so far has raised $7,095 in 2011. She has run with her mother each year and this year ran in memory of her grandmother who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. 2011 was also extra special for Lauren as it was her first time as a mum too. Lauren’s grand total raised for breast cancer research to date is $35,000 (this includes paper based fundraising in 2008 and 2007).

Unfortunately, we don’t have records for the years before 2008, however we would like to offer the opportunity for long-time fundraisers to email us to tell us if they have raised more than $25,000 over time and in which case they may also be included in the club.
