Melanie Abbott

Supporting Breast Cancer Research

I'm putting my foot down to stop breast cancer in its tracks!

Run done!

Well thanks to all you kind and generous supporters I completely smashed my fundraising - $7411 - and I am completely stunned by how much has been raised towards breast cancer research.

Two of three kids ran with me and I set a new PB for 5km of 31:00 mins. An excellent day all round.

Thank you all again for your continuing support as I navigate my new and everchanging normal.

Take care xo

Support my efforts in the 2024 Mother’s Day Classic!

On Sunday 12 May, I'm putting my foot down to save lives.

I'll be lacing up my running shoes and taking a step forward for women's cancer research, and I'd really love your support!

I’m joining the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast and ovarian cancers.  

Tragically, 12 Australians lose their lives to these awful diseases every day. 

I’m asking you to do more than just stand with me but to support me as I walk, run, and move till we’re done. 

Please make a donation today to support my challenge. There’s only one way to stop breast and ovarian cancers - together!

For more information on how your donations will make a difference, please click here.

Thank you for your support.
