There's ONE in every crowd!

Sometimes one has to be taught a lesson!

Oh no, this is a serious, help!!!

Talk about over using the GGG motivational support on the course!

Nervous before the run!

The results

THANK YOU! What a magnificent effort – 130,000 participants and 2000 volunteers.On Sunday morning, more than 130,000 Australians in a record 74 locations came together to walk or run for breast cancer research and to show their respect for those affected by breast cancer, contributing to the lasting impact the Women in Super Mother's Day Classic has had on breast cancer research in Australia.

Due to your participation and this year’s outstanding individual and team efforts fundraising, we now expect this year's fundraising total to reach well in excess of $4 million, on top of the $14.8 million raised in previous years. This has made Mother's Day Classic the biggest single donor to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), supporting research projects into detection, prevention, treatment and ultimately finding a cure.

The weather was kind this year in most of the 74 locations but even in those locations that did get the rain, families, teams, men and women paid no regard to the elements and came together to show their support for those affected by breast cancer and to help us raise more funds than ever before.

It was a great effort with record crowd numbers in almost every location. Whether you walked, run, cheered, volunteered or fundraised we thank you all.

MESSAGE FROM PRIME MINISTER JULIA GILLARD

PRIME MINISTER CANBERRA

MOTHER’S DAY CLASSIC 2013

I send my warmest best wishes to everyone across Australia who is celebrating Mother’s Day. I know some mums will be marking the day with a hand-made card and a noodle necklace, breakfast in bed or an autumn picnic.

But for a remarkable group of women, Mother’s Day will be spent out walking and running to support breast cancer research, to honour those who have survived this gruelling disease, and to remember those who no longer share this day with us.

I truly appreciate the Mother’s Day Classic and I’ve joined in it myself because – like so many Australians – I’ve had friends and loved ones who’ve faced the reality of this dreadful disease, and the Classic gives you a great feeling of making a difference, however small it might seem.

So best of luck also to everyone pulling on the running shoes for this year’s Mother’s Day Classic events, in Ballarat and Broome, in Jindabyne and Gympie, and just about everywhere in between.

I’m certain that every family that has been touched by breast cancer will be cheering you on, as will I.

There couldn’t be a better way to mark Mother’s Day than by bringing closer the time when women need not fear breast cancer anymore.

The Honourable Julia Gillard

Prime Minister of Australia
