Go Getta Girls Inc.

Kingaroy's Women's Running Club is proud to be organising Kingaroy's Mother's Day Classic.

 

Group Unity/ Greatness/ Generosity

Group Unity - simply to remind that club sessions are about running with a group and being part of a group. Our club's code of conduct reiterates this value that we participate within the club with respect for self and all members.

Greatness - is about making goals, challenging ones self and achieving great things in our own personal journey. Goals give direction, goals are achieved when the goal has been dreamt by you and its means some thing to you.

Generosity - is to emphasis that wonderful value of paying it forward - helping another woman become a runner. Our code of conduct encourages all members to contribute to a safe, harrassment free, non judgemental environment within our club. The club is a place that offers inspiration, support and tools to become the runner, you wish to be.

South Burnett Mayor

Wayne Kratzmann has happily committed to walk the Kingaroy Mother's Day Classic again in 2013!

All time record!

This year, the Mother’s Day Classic will be held in 74 locations including all capital cities, major metropolitans and 63 regional locations across Australia. We have well surpassed our 2012 numbers which was 50 events in total.

We’d like to say a special thank you to all those who have put their hands up to host an event in their local area. We are so appreciative of these people who are volunteering their time and energy to organise a Mother’s Day Classic event and allow even more people to participate and raise funds for breast cancer research.

Whether it’s 40 people or 40,000, every MDC raises funds for breast cancer research, supports and remembers those touched by breast cancer and starts Mother’s Day in a fun and healthy way. With a record number of events we expect to top our 2012 record of 125,000 participants and $4million raised.

Why?

Hosting a local community fun run/walk has been a long term goal for the GGG club and last year it came to fruition when we joined in the National Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research,
 The Mother's Day Classic
A fun walk/ run held around Australia to raise funds and offer an opportunity to get active.

 

 Little did we know what was to happen within the club over the last 12 months. 

 

It happened, two of our very own GGG's were diagnosed with breast cancer and another member, her Mother.

 

It all became very real and we came to understand the treatment proces, the stress and the effect it has on families and friends.

 

The club has always felt a responsiblity to partake in fundraising for cancer prevention causes and now it's very personal with our very own diagnosed.  This has only increased our passion to continue to our part by hosting the MDC each year in Kingaroy. We aim to  

• raise funds for breast cancer research
• to support and acknowledge those who have to touched by this disease
• to encourage the community to get active and participate in this unique opportunity
• Spend Mother's Day outdoors together with your family in an enjoyable and safe enviroment

Happily we can report that one member and the Mum have completed thier treatment and are doing well. Our second  member is currently undergoing radium treatment weekly in Toowoomba but she still comes along and walks with the club each Monday's before heading over to Toowoomba. How amazing!

Tips to stay motivated

Make the decision now, don't procastinate, don't over think it, just give it a go. 

Begin very gradual, don't aim to do too much too soon.  It's about injury prevention.

Begin with the first step and simply follow the program - don't jump ahead of yourself or your ability.

Enjoy the process.  Relax, smile and look around.

Jogging pace is judged by how you feel - you should feel in control, relaxed and able to breathe comfortably (heavier, faster breathing is normal but gasping for air is NOT!)

Some days will feel fantastic, some days will feel hard work - take it all in your stride - but don't give up.  We are not machines but humans so accept the good with the bad.

Imagine how you will feel as you cross the finish line - happy & satisfied that you achieved?

Tell your family and friends what you plan to do! It will help you stay committed to your goal.
