THE Women in Super Mother\u2019s Day Classic returns to Bendigo next weekend, celebrating twenty-five years of the fundraising fun run.<\/p>\n
Joggers and walkers are invited to cover four or eight kilometres at Beischer Park, Strathdale on Sunday morning, 8 May to generate funds for breast cancer research, and honour those who have lived with the disease.<\/p>\n
Mother\u2019s Day Classic CEO Zara Lawless organisers are keen to mark a quarter of a century of operation, having boosted 79 research initiatives with millions of dollars raised along the way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe encourage people to be part of this iconic community fun run and walk… It is a fun and inspiring way to spend Mother\u2019s Day with your family and friends,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great to be welcoming back our traditional Mother\u2019s Day Classic experiences as we unite in celebration of 25 years of impact with communities right across the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe encourage participants to head to their locations early so they can soak up the atmosphere, connect with their local community and celebrate this special event with friends and family while raising vital funds for breast cancer research.\u201d<\/p>\n
Almost $40 million dollars has been raised by Mother\u2019s Day Classic runners and walkers over the last 25 years.<\/p>\n
An average of fifty-five people across Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer each day, and nine die from the disease.<\/p>\n
The event will include food stalls, live music, and entertainment.<\/p>\n
