Mother’s Day Event Planning!

Mother's Day Classic

The Mother’s Day Classic

The Mother’s Day Classic is held annually to help raise awareness and funding for breast cancer research. A walk and run held on Mother’s Day, the event is fun, active and allows the participants to remember and support the special women and men that have been touched by breast cancer. Run or walk with family and friends and make it fun with fancy dress outfits, all accessorised with pink! It is a day of celebration for survivors and one of hope for those affected. Gather family and friends together and go for the walk or run and then take your mum out for a nice brunch afterwards and make a lovely morning of it.
