Mother's Day Classic registration is now open
Walk/run for breast cancer research on Sunday 9 May 2010
Mother's Day Classic patron, the Governor-General, Quentin Bryce AC
announced the opening of registrations for the 2010 Mother's Day Classic
today, at a special ceremony held in Sydney.
This year’s event takes place on Sunday 9 May 2010 in Adelaide, Brisbane,
Canberra, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hobart, Melbourne, Parramatta, Perth,
Sydney and regional locations across Australia.
Last year, your participation and fundraising efforts led to a record annual
amount of $1.3 million raised for the National Breast Cancer Foundation's
research programs. With your support we could set a new record in 2010.

Last year, the Mother's Day Classic highest fundraiser Michelle Ward, from South Australia raised $12,000. She was part of team of more than 100 people from UniSA Team Susan, who took part to show support for their colleague Susan who was diagnosed with breast cancer and going through treatment in 2009.
