The Mother's Day Classic is a national walk/run that raises money for breast cancer research. <br /> <br /> The 2017 event will take place on Sunday 14 May in all capital cities and several regional locations across Australia.<br /> <br /> The first Mother's Day Classic was held in Melbourne and Sydney and drew 3,000 participants. Since then it has grown to over 135,000 participants across Australia - from Weipa to the Gold Coast, Darwin, Parramatta, Geelong, Hobart, Adelaide and Karratha.<br /> <br /> Breast cancer strikes one in eight Australian women. The Mother's Day Classic provides you with an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those women. Since 1998, the Mother's Day Classic has raised more than $24.3 million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation's research programs.<br /> <br /> The Mother's Day Classic is organised by Women in Super, a national network of women in the superannuation and finance industries, and is proudly supported by ME.
